Would you like to upgrade yourself?
I actually received this offer in April this year, and paid about $550 to upgrade the Abu-Dhabi-Sydney leg of my Dublin-Canberra journey. A bargain at the price. I used points to upgrade Dublin-Abu Dhabi, so was Business Class the whole way home (apart from the Virgin flight to Canberra).
I wonder what full-fare paying business passengers will think of their cabin being filled up. But I guess you pay for a seat, not a whole cabin!
There were empty seats on my flight, so obviously not everyone received or took up the offer.
