Virgin America Elevate - C --> F "upgrade" still the same

Is it still the case that one can go from coach to MCS 24 hours before departure, and MCS --> F 6 hours before departure for the cheap?

Thanks!

That was correct a couple weeks ago for me; I haven't heard of any changes since.

Cheap is relative

The only difference in processing two seperate upgrades from Y to MCS to F vs Y to First is only $1.

Its no windfall.

Explain. If I can go from Y --> F for $1 more per seat and I can do it 24 hours before hand sign me up. I always through that until one hit the 6 hour mark before a flight, a MCS --> F upgrade was something like $500 per seat, not the $55 for a half-con flight. (LAX --> DFW)

Upgrades into F are available 6 hours out.

At 24 hours you can upgrade in MCS. Anything before that is not an upgrade but changing fares which is more expensive.

LAX DFW from Y to F is $139

if you upgrade at the 24 hour mark to MCS is it $69
If you upgrade the at the 6 hour mark from MCS to First it is another $69



If you upgrading from Y to first you have to wait until the 6 hour mark and it costs $139

Let review
1. Change fares - $$$$$$$$$$$$$
2. two upgrade transactions - $69 x2 $138
3. one transaction $139
