Earning additional SP on trans tasman if paying to upgrade "Seat Only" to "The Works"
If I booked a "Seat Only" Trans-Tasman fare, if I pay the additional $40 to upgrade to "The Works" when checking in, do I earn additional status points?
If so, looks like a good way to earn SP based on pricing out future flights and the difference if paying when booking:
- more expensive flight: 63SP for the works, 52SP for seat only = 11SP for $40
- cheaper flight: 32SP for the works, 24SP for seat only = 8SP for $40
Thanks for the input experts!
