An almost unheard of and ridiculous yet amazing double upgrade price?!

Hi All,

Wasn't sure where to post this but I thought it may be of some interest to our readers....!

My original booking was a lowest return in WT from LGW to TPA in May. 2 days later after the booking, I logged into MMB and there was an offer (not a POUG, I'm sure of it as no red lettering) of £180 for the outbound sector to WTP. Great! Now like most of you, I then religiously kept checking the upgrade prices for at least two times a day, every day. Until a few days ago, when the price was almost unbelievable to the point that I was totally stunned and had to practically slap myself to force me to purchase it before it was too late!

The price? £153 to upgrade from inbound WT flight to CW. £153!! And yes, it was straight from WT to CW. Is this normal? The WT+ hasn't featured at all, so I'm thinking that the cabin was perhaps oversold? I read the Flyertalk forums a fair bit and am slowly coming to terms with how most things work.

Suffice to say, I'm extremely well chuffed with how things have turned out. ^ The only thing remains, is to keep checking for outbound WTP to CW so wish me luck and I will be sure to report back.
