Any experience with success rates on any one of those sectors and a rough estimate on what it may cost? We are a group of 4 people and expect this to be costly regardless!! however estimating the financial damage would be very helpful.

So I guess I would have to make 4 separate attempts at the cash upgrade at the counters

I will answer my own question for anyone else's future information.
No, did not matter.
Asked they said either recalculate fare or buy up. Station manger looked on computer and said could offer me special $2000 from discounted business to F.
This was only for the ORD-ZRH sector not the next sector.

What do you expect? Four lavatories for eight passengers?

Go and check other airlines F config (as has been discussed here too) and you will see that there are usually at least 2 toilets. Does make a difference to some but YMMV.

I guess the equation is: 2 lav for any number of F class passengers + crew

Has anyone ever received a cash upgrade offer to F class ex-YUL?
It seems that F class loads are quite poor ex-YUL and most of the time the F cabin flies with 1 pax to just two!!!!!!

Tried my luck at LX179 this evening as it looks pretty filled up in economy. Was quoted 1500CFH (buying up from H), which I politely declined. The guy I spoke to even tried negotiating a better price on the phone with who ever I think was his manager, but to no avail.
