Is it worth it to just cancel my booking and rebook in Flex or is there some way to get a different Comfort Y fare that is in a higher eUp bracket?
Thanks in advance!
It is easy. Look at the eUpgrade chart. Upgrading Comfort S, T, L, K, G to PE requires 9 credits. To do the same with Flex U, H, Q, V, W will require 8 credits. So the difference is the fare bucket. You simply had a higher Flex fare in the past than your current Comfort fare. I wouldn't rebook it in Flex. You'd probably get the same fare bucket and you'd likely need more eUpgrade credits. The joys of branded fares...
