I am flying DEL-DXB-LGW on a y flex today . Got an offer for a J upgrade for around 65k INR after taxes
Considering that a J saver return was around 117k INR at the time I booked this ticket , I felt that this offer was very poor value ( no lounge/ no CD/ no J miles )
Also had a last minute offer at checkin for a miles upgrade at around 38 or 39k miles yestrday for both sectors which changed to 45k miles today.
Now that was not bad at all as there are no extra taxes to.pay and I dont mind the lack of the other normal J stuff.
Unfortunately I was short by around 10k miles .
I didnt want to risk buying miles as the last time I bought some top up skywards miles it took around 2 days to credit. ( there is a disclaimer now )
