Never a worse time to play “free” Elite Upgrade Roulette.

Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León called it la Florida, the land of flowers. That name feels appropriate right now because we’re seeing great deals blooming all over the state.

And on top of that, we’ve also discovered domestic fares to other regions that are smelling particularly sweet.

Our chart below adds all the necessary color you need to score the best deal. You’ll see the airline, the cities involved, the Business and economy class fares, round–trip flying hours, and the cost per hour to upgrade from economy to Business — all the features to consider when value is on your mind. Note that these great fares are the same in both directions.

With fares this low, why would you bother playing “free” elite status upgrade roulette?

That’s possibly the biggest takeaway.

Let’s expand this discussion with American domestic flights using a wide–body aircraft. You’ll never have to rub shoulders so closely again.

If you live in Miami, Charlotte, Chicago, or Boston, you can fly American’s wide–body in some markets. If you don’t, and must make a connection, consider doing so via wide-body aircraft to get a free in-class upgrade as we have discussed here.
