Free F upgrade [UK, certain Club fares}
Sorry if its posted already. Just received the mail.
Once again, it's our pleasure to invite you to enjoy a
one-way upgrade to First. Not just once, but as many times as you like between now and 18 December 2009. All you need to do is book and fly an eligible Club World flight during this period.*
You also have what can only be described as an enjoyable business decision to make: whether to take your upgrade on your outbound or return journey.
usual J and C fares.

Once again, our corporate fares make my upcoming flights ineligible for this promotion. Out of interest does anyone know what percentage of J tickets are booked in classes that are eligible for this deal?

That is interesting indeed but or UK travelers it means they have to fly to Italy first, go back to UK to reach their final destination. A bit time consuming.

I haven't tried phoning as I don't need any of those (admittedly very tasty) fares. Received the email because my wife's BAEC account (well, my partner silver card basically 
) is registered in Italy as we have an address there.
But as I remember, the last time we booked tickets using her account to make use of a 180K free BA miles offer earlier this year
I paid on my UK Amex Prem plus card using my UK billing address...

I'm confused (probably my simple brain) by the Italian offer.
The 'Lowest eligible all inclusive return fare for 2 adults travelling together' - i take it that this is the per person fare?
If so, it doesn't seem so special in terms of the promotions we've seen in the past six months.

'Buy two business class tickets for the price of one'
And ergo makes a Italy-JFK return in CE / CW - 958 Euros per person ^

no... looking at what I've paid ex-Milan before, a CW RTN to GRU at 1100 euros is about right as part of an offer.
The last time I flew MXP-LHR-EZE was about 3 years ago and I think I paid 1500 euros for a pretty felxible CW ticket as I remember.. with an F opup thrown in on the return
