This week was the first time in 12-months where I received an email offer from SIN to upgrade my flight to MEL this coming Thurs 01 April for SGD$230.
Also, first op-up ex MEL last Sunday. Normally, I only ever receive them ex SIN.
EK are also running aggressive deals ex Australia so this should impact loads.
Now if we could only figure out the real upgrade process/criteria, we'd be happier...!!
That's a good offer. I flew EK from MEL to AKL in mid-March and received an email upgrade offer for AUD160 (a 4-hr flight). I went ahread but your offer is certainly more attractive as it's a longer flight.
No email upgrade offer on return journey though.
