The thing is, the website still shows the redemption values from the miles calculator....
I have tried a couple of times now and every time, the value i am getting quoted from agents (phone, email, staff at lounge) reflects what also the plusgrade upgrades bidding would tell me, but never the values in the miles calculator table. These i.e. range from 30k (Choice Plus) to 167k (Sale), so technically, and availability assumed, one should be able to still upgrade at 30k from Eco to Biz with a choice plus fare. I am typically told i need to cough up between 80 and 100k miles for a oneway upgrade.
Which makes it equally useless.
It would really be helpful if EY would come forward and explain.
