No, no more fees for booking on the phone.
I'm curious, any tips on how you score the upgrades from BR staff- I've had no luck (but only 0/2), though I've been travelling on busy days. I've been offered to transfer to J on the Air China flight, but it doesn't arrive in time to catch my connection to YYZ (which I booked on separate ticket in L to be sure of upgrade on the redeye
Well, I must say connections in Asia could get you lots of stuff
. I used to work for Evergreen Group, flying tons of TPE-HKG-TPE flights in J on BR. Knowing some captains and managements helps too I guess. I was sometimes greeted by name at the Check-In counter: "Flying YVR again!"
What I do is divide my YVR trips. half on AC, half on BR. So I get both AC-E(Plus flying YVR-China) and BR-G(Plus flying China-TPE). Show them both at check-in(a greasy move huh), and then I'm one level higher than other BR-G on this route
. (I have no intention of hitting AC-SE or BR-diamond for my flying routine)
Of course, I wouldn't be able to hit home-runs every time I fly(a third-base to Elite class is nice too
), but I will do everything to maximize my chance.
Don't know how SEs stand when traveling on this route. Probably second priority behind diamonds(third if you include government officials
).
Be a pop-star in Taiwan works too
.
Thanks for your help!
