Had a quick look at the LON-JFK PE sales fares (£750), but when I use the cash + upgrade with Avios option for the same flights it comes in at £1200 + 48k avios. I noticed the selling class is T for the sale fares and from memory I don't think these are upgradable?

Totally upgradable, there is a long-running bug that overcharges customers going for the one-step upgrade approach that strangely doesn't get fixed. Either wait for the class-action, or go for the cheaper fare then call and upgrade

You should be able to book online at the lower cost and then upgrade that booking using Avios with the system then just charging you the additional taxes etc.
