Mom is going on her first trip to ME, she was just offered ORD-AUH (13.5hrs) for $1200 - $2000
If it came with chauffeur, I'd do it for her. From what i read, these upgrades don't get chauffeur or lounges? (i couldn't find this in any terms)

Questions to you guys - if your bid has been accepted to the next higher class, which fare does the ticket automatically becomes? From Y to J for instance, do they change the ticket literally to the J bucket fare hence you'll be receiving full J tier points / bonuses etc? What about J to F?
