to begin with, i am absolutely new to FlyerTalk, so my apologies for this rather elementary question.

i would appreciate any guidance you may be able to give me regarding YUP or KUP Fares. to be specific, i would like to find-out how to fly First Class, as cheap as possible.

besides the obvious of i'd appreciate an upgrade as much as the next person, i also travel with a rather large service dog and him and me squishing into 1 seat, SFO-JFK for 8 hour hauls at a time just isn't as enjoyable as it might sound; especially to the poor pup

any and all help would be greatly appreciated. thank you very much.
