Sometimes an upgrade to first on our reservations website is less than the cost of upgrading to a higher level of economy. But my suggestion is to avoid paying for upgrades by focusing your travel on one airline. It will take very little time to gain a status that provides free upgrades on every flight. Or get a credit card for the airline of your choice and it usually provides the same thing.
