Yes, you can buy up at check-in or even the gate. However, there is no way that they can fix it for you in advance. FJ is overall a very rigid and incompetent operation. My experience was that we booked the ticket a few days before departure so it was after the "bula window" had opened and therefore was not possible to bid. It was the only time that I had an econ ticket on FJ.

Thanks, I found out that my ticket is a promotional ticket for the conference. I assume it is much like an award ticket. I would still be willing to buy up to business at check-in, but only if it's for a reasonable discount not like $2,000. Do they have reasonable upgrade rates like $200-300 for flights to neighboring South Pacific islands? Im going to TRW and FUN.
