Upsold on Arabian airpass!
So I called EK last night to add a booking to Beruit using the Arabian airpass which is cheaper (although not much these days) than a revenue ticket from Dxb.
Anyway it was £1050 for a j add on to bey then she said please hold and offered to turn my ticket which was LGW to DXB to MAN into a flex / flex plus for £1300.
The sucker that I am went for it and I've now got a flex Lgw Dxb bey and flex plus bey Dxb man. Quite a big difference in miles and I have an grandma that is quite ill so I may have to bring the man flight forward so the extra flexibility may be useful.
No added change fees on this - maybe the revenue generation department is going to offer more things like this?
