To put a recent data point in this thread, my wife and I were booked MIA-CDG on A380 in business. Tickets purchased with FB miles. I’m FB Explorer and never used FB except to book this flight with miles transferred from AMEX.
I was offered upgrades to La Premiere for around USD 2,200 each at online check in. Obviously declined.
