I'm looking at booking a business one way fight: ICN to BRU and I would have following questions:
- When I check the Business flex fare, it says currently no upgrade available and miles: 60.375 Miles
- When I check the legs separately DXB to BRU has availability for upgrade of Business Flex to first: Upgrade available : 44.850 Miles
=> Is it possible to upgrade one of both legs on a ticket ICN to BRU when only one of both legs has first class upgrade availability?
Or is it only possible to upgrade the whole booking?
I see that there is only 1 seat available for upgrade (all dates and all European destinations always have only 1 first class seat award available).
- If I make a booking of 2 adults Business Flex ICN to BRU, will it then be possible to upgrade for 1 adult 1 leg (DXB to BRU) to First?
- Or do I need to make 2 separate bookings?
Thanks
1. You can upgrade the DXB/ICN leg on its own. This is not possible with cash, but no problem with miles. Bear in mind that the availability may have disappeared by the time you book your J ticket.
2. If you want to upgrade one person, you need to have separate bookings. Upgrades are always for ALL passengers in the booking. If you already have the ticket booked, the call centre can split the booking for you, that's no problem.
How do you know there is only 1 upgrade seat available? I don't know an easy way to establish that, apart from the rather tedious way of dummy bookings for 1 and then for 2 passengers.
