It was for me three weeks ago - I upgrade IST-LHR for the princely sum of £44 - strangely when I priced it up on MMB it initially came up with a much higher figure (which I'd rejected previously), but when I clicked through to purchase it dropped to £44. No additional taxes at the airport and I was able to OLCI.

I thought this was quite good value until the poor service onboard (which has since been dealt with). With trips to Paris and NY the following weeks it meant I reached 1,500 TPs so another year of gold; had I known that today I'd be in DBX it wouldn't have been necessary!
