As Gold you receive 2 Upgrade Voucher with 55'000 TP
As Platinum you receive 4 Upgrade Voucher with 95'000 TP
As Gold you receive 4 Upgrade voucher every year as long as you retain the tier
As Platinum you receive 12 Upgrade voucher every year as long as you retain the tier
As Platinum Lumo you receive 24 Upgrade voucher every year as long as you retain the tier
Upgrade voucher can be used to upgrade to a higher cabin class.
In Europe you need 1 Voucher one way from Y to C.
Long haul you need 2 Voucher one way from Y to PE. 3 from PE to C and 4 from Y to C.
Then when you are flying with BA, AA, or IB you receive bonus tier points
As Silver 10% more
As Gold 15% more
As Platinum 25% more
This made TP runs to the US more attractive. With your 11'000 BA flights and cabin class 150% + 10% to 25% you would get between 18'150 to 20'625 TP
Thank you! That's really useful information.
Are the upgrades restricted to specific fare classes within Economy/Business Class or are even deeply discounted fares upgradeable? Also, if you use upgrades from, for example, Y to J, do you earn Avios/TPs based on the cabin you book (Y) or the cabin you fly in (J)? I suspect that that I know the answer to this but it's worth me checking
