AC appeared to be introducing co-pay for SE100K upgrades but was IT glitch
Was just playing with the eUpgrade calculation tool and noticed to my surprise that for SE100K, co-pay is now apparently applicable to all international upgrades to J from low-Flex.
For example, YYZ-HKG requires a 850.00 co-pay from Flex (Q, V).
No co-pay required from Flex (H, M, U) or from Premium Economy (O, E, N).
It also appears low-Flex can no longer be upgraded to Premium Economy at all.
Will post screenshots later, I’m on my phone now.
I really, really hope this is a glitch. Can any SE with active international bookings in low-Flex confirm this information?
EDIT: It appears this was just an IT glitch due to the branded fares rollout, which has since been fixed. No policy change as of now.
