Hey Sleazy - You can usually upgrade at the airport for pennies to First Class.

Here are some upgrades I've realized:

SF to Kauai - Domestic RT was $500 (Northwest), Upgrade to First Class at counter was $88 bucks one way.

SF to Honolulu - Domestic RT was $800 (United), Upgrade to First Class at counter was $125 bucks one way.

SF to NY - Domestic RT was $600 (United), Upgrade to First Class at counter was $66 bucks one way.

I shit you not.

If you book far in advance, and have a good travel agent, he or she will shop your airfare around and get you a great rate.

My Wife and I flew Round Trip on Virgin to London from SF, plus a limo, plus first class airfare from London to Rome and Athens (to and from) all for $10K. Retail was $26,000. It pays to have a great travel agent and some time.
