Hawaiian Airlines is allowing me to make an offer for first class upgrade. Wondering what the best strategy is, if you have done this before. They have a 'buy now' price & a set minimum, but doesn't look like they'll autobid for you. I started off with a low bid but not sure what happens when I get outbid. It's a 5-hour flight.

Im just going to make an estimate. Based on experience with multiple bidding platforms and auctions, that you…. Lose the seat if you get outbid.

The best strategy is to bid what you think it’s worth. Somewhere between minimum and buy now. If you’re the highest you win, if not you’ll be back where you started with the rest of the peasants….And just to be clear, since your asking about strategy in a simple bid process, make sure you don’t bid more than the buy now price.

Strategy is to see how much a first class ticket actually costs- then decide what’s the highest you would pay for first class below that market price and that’s what you bid.

I am sure you know that they are "allowing" 20 other people to bid and you know what bid means.

Does it show how many seats are available? And, how steep is the buy now price? If you really want that upgrade and the buy now price isn’t too ridiculous I would go that route rather than gambling on the bidding.

The buy now price is $900 & minimum bid is $500, which is maybe what it's worth to me. Hawaiian is a decent airline for coach. Also, I suspect I'll be offered a better deal at check-in.
