Can use GUP on K/T/Q class - beware some conditions on fares
K/T/Q eligible for GUP, but note to check carefully if the fare has upgrade limitations. Nice to note the response was within 2 working days - pretty good imho.
Dear Mr. Thai-Kiwi,
Please kindly be noted that nomally the economy booked under G/V/W/L are not eligible for GUP.
For K/T/Q on the nomal fare are available for GUP, however some times the are the special fare offered under K/T/Q with no upgrade condition. So, whenever you will purchase K/T/Q fare, you have to aware of the conditions as well.
Thank you and best regards,

Subject: Eligible fare classes for GUP economy to business
Hi,
can you confirm if economy T and K fare classes are eligible for GUP? I heard verbally they were from friends and the Seoul office, but a colleague in tells me the London THAI office is still saying Q or better if you want to use GUP. So there is some confusion
I note my recently arrived Gold Pack welcome letter states simply the ineligible fare classes are G/V/W/L, so it seems T and K should be OK.
I would be grateful if you could confirm T and K classes are valid for use of GUP.
Kind regards,
Mr Thai-Kiwi

Dear Mr X,,
Only if it is a 100% qualifying airfare it can be used for Gold upgrade subject to availability of seats after economy ticket is issued .
When purchasing online you will need to read the terms and conditions of airfare as discounted airfares in K ,T,W,V,L not allowed for redeeming of Gold upgrade. Q ,H,M,B,Y airfares normally can be redeemed for GOLD upgrade.

Flash Sale - L (not at present but I booked a fare earlier this year in L)
Super Saver - W

Super Saver - L (LRLD3AU)
Super Save - W (WRLD3AU)
Thai Saver Plus - W (WLE3MAUE)
Flexi - Q (QRLD3AU)
Information is all available. Most annoying is trying to get a Q fare when K pops up - haven't found a way to 'force' this yet.
