Hi all

I understand that you can no longer swap miles for a first class seat directly anymore, and that you can only upgrade from Business to First with miles.

I have also heard that - as an example. I can buy an economy seat, upgrade with miles to business, then upgrade again with miles (at check-in) to first..... has anyone done this successfully?

What is the situation with taxes? How and when are these paid (if there are any extra taxes to pay).

Thanks
