On the transatlantic market, there is usually a very small difference between an upgradeable fare requiring 20,000 miles to upgrade OW (M), and the higher fare (B) requiring only 10,000 miles. Typically $100 or less OW. So you should consider buying the B fare. You'd be saving 20,000 miles for about $200. Best deal around.
That sounds a deal......
We typically fly to SFO or RNO - about 13,000 miles + 25% = 15,000 - at LEAST once a year (skiing !!)
If we could get a 'B' fare, we can fly business every time for only 5000 miles!!! (A couple of months expenses on the old mileage plus visa at the moment !!)
How do I find out a 'B' fare price....on website bookings you can only specify Coach, Biz or 1st.....do I need to call UAL direct?
btw - cheers for the help everyone....this board is great and very fast - how do you all keep up!!!
