WTP-Avios upgrade v AUP/POUG gamble
Hi all,
I would like to make use of the good value WTP east coast fares which are unlikely I think to be cheaper come any potential boxing day sale (?) but would like to travel in CW as I need the TPs...however don't want to waste money doing so for my partner and would prefer to use miles for this upgrade for her...
What do you think about this? I think this would mean booking 2 separate PNRs - 1 booking WTP with immediate upgrade into avios space in CW and the other into WTP (T-class fare - this is fully upgradeable with avios etc?) and then hoping for an AUP or POUG...Is there more tax payable with this? Or just the uplift from WTP to CW in tax? (It's a few hundred more in cost to dummy book the WTP with avios upgrade)
Am I mad? We would want to sit together so appreciate it's a bit of a gamble... I can't afford the CW stand alone fare sadly.
Thoughts on a Christmas Eve postcard very welcome!
