Original PE ATL-LHR-ATL purchased in Jan ‘22 for $1k, upgrade return using miles for total cost of $1.4K. Add successful bid upgrade resulting in round trip UC for +/- $2K = VERY HAPPY.

Adding a data point … UC was less than half full, as was the rest of the plane.
Were you charged any additional surcharges/fees aside from the $550 bid amount? I am considering bidding for an upgrade myself, but the website says additional surcharges might be charged but the site doesn't indicate how much those surcharges would be when entering my bid.

Also, when you upgraded with miles were you charged additional surcharges?
