As SH suggested, it's pretty easy to book the Tango fare online, and print off the receipt which you submit with your expenses. Then upfare to Fun and pay the difference out of your pocket. This will cost you $30 plus the fare difference up to the day of departure, or $150 day-of-travel at the airport. I did this recently for a yvr-yyz-yul trip, and the difference was about $140 which will get me a J seat (with sswu courtesy of another FT'er) and 125% status miles vs. 50% non-status. ^
