LHR to SJC - Upgraded from CW to F yesterday for £579 at LHR

There were three seats available in F when I was at the airport, F cabin was full on take off so looks like they sold all three.

Are you sure this was W to F? Seems like amazing value if so!

I just checked in at the BA lounge at DFW. I'm booked in WT+/PE. The agent asked if I wanted to upgrade to biz. I asked how much. Almost fell over when she said US$990!

She did say, "I had to give it a try."

For that much, I could almost just buy biz outright, if it is that for each of my long-haul segments.

Edited to add:
On the way back from the restroom, I overheard her trying to upsell F to some biz travelers. That was $709, for DFW-LHR.

At SJC last week, WT+ -> CW was $849 USD CW -> F was $709 USD. I think WT -> WT+ was around $400 USD and the guy sitting next to me (quite a big chap) had bought this although it was only confirmed at the desk next to the boarding area (the plane was pretty full so presume the original person in the seat got a comp upgrade to J)

I did not buy the upgrade from WT+ -> J as far too much. Although these fares look quite attractive at checkin I paid $1600 USD (inc taxes) for WT+ from DXB - SJC return and for another $1000 or so could have found a way to do a similar routing in J (making a one way upgrade for $849 very expensive).

The difference between WTP and CW is quite a bit, the difference between CW and F less so... Again, just my opinion...

On BA 218 DEN-LHR currently in WT next month on a Thursday, its my first time flying BA but an OWE thanks to AA. Is it helpful getting to check in earlier? I've read and trying to figure out how to best my chances. I'm trying to figure out the best strategy here.

Its one of the old 52J so I'm not too keen on the WT+ and would like to go straight from WT->CW.

As its subject to availability, how often in your experience do they offer AUP, I guess I shouldn't count on the online upgrade from WT->CW only at the airport?

She said that BA wants them to make $15k in upsells every week but they never come close. For the one flight day, she said it is maybe1-2 pax, sometimes none.

Asked at check-in, LGW - VRN, ET < CE offered at £99. Took it for the blocked middle seat and extra TP. Suspecting they won't have loaded catering for me.
