I'm considering an upgrade zrh-lax from class L. From what I read I guess it's gonna be around chf 700-1000, is that correct ?
Also, can I enquire at the telephone checkin in gva or at checkin desk in gva or directly in transit in zrh? I guess the sooner the better..
Thanks.

In HKG I was offered a cash-upgrade at the check-in from Business to First for 19.800 HK$ (app. 1.800 EUR) a few days ago on LX139.
My ticket was discounted Business fare (Z bucket).
I skipped

From FRA I suspect your only option will be fare difference (maybe just maybe you will find someone who will let you upsell to Z but I really doubt it).

I am trying to decide whether to fly Lufthansa or Swiss Air from FRA - MIA and wondered if Swiss Air would be more likely to give a good upgrade-at-the-gate price. Seems that Lufthansa (based on this thread) is not likely to upgrade-at-the-gate for any discount. My question here is, is Swiss Air a better chance for that discounted upgrade? (at FRA) And then ... how about in MIA for the return trip?
Flying in October, btw.
