Business-For-You...
I have 4 upgrades with Business-For-You that I don't think I will be able to use. Is there anyone who constantly travel on Alitalia who can use them? Would love to exchange these upgrades with something else even for a rate that's at a disadvantage for me.

I do fly Alitalia a lot but, as you will have probably read from other threads/posts, it is generally speaking much cheaper to buy a discounted business class fare rather than booking one of the fare classes through which those coupons can be used. That said, I hope you get a decent offer/exchange for the ones you've got!

A H fare, MXP-JFK, is 1300. The I class ticket you upgrade into is 2000.

Sorry, mate, it just doesn't happen. You can apply those coupons to H fares, which are without fail lower than the lowest offer in business.

Obviously it is about booking the class Business, including inflexible bookings. If the upgrades were like BA, from ANY Premium Eco class then it would represent savings and be useful.

The upgrades with miles are from most eco classes, just like on BA.
I think you have spent time on matrix but somehow misinterpreted the results. Can you make an example of an H fare booking that costs more than I? I am curious.
