Thanks for the responses, it does not sound right that you may need to pay a fare difference if your eupgrade request is not successful, but I may be wrong here???Anyone know?

Regardless I think I shall take the advise of you both and request the long haul only-though there is definately R space for the short haul and would hate to miss as it will soon open up for Prestige.

Its a real shame the online system does not allow you to cancel a upgrade in advance yourself.

If anyone else has done something similiar please feel free to chime in as its good knowledge to have on FT.

Thanks again,
