2. They also now offer last minute upgrade from any Economy class (T, V, K ect) to business at the gate or onboard:
longhaul: 500 points or $800
Short: 200 points or $300
HURRAY , so from now on I will try to book the cheapest fare to NY and upgrade at the airport.
Anyone knows if there is ever a paid offer from paid Business (Z) to First on Long Haul?
