Logging on to MMB to see if there was any better seats availability for my upcoming LHR - SIN, I saw that the upgrade offer has now gone from c. £3-4k each way to now offering me £785 outbound..So I decided to snap that up. It did say something about only upgrading one flight at a time but as I was more concerned about outbound that seemed fine (and the price was right) so I paid up and sure enough it moved me to seat selection and I found 11a with a window (on 789). It sure looked like old CW in a 2-3-2 to me.

However having done all this, going back into MMB again, even after logging out / in again, booking still shows as PE even with my new seat.

So, folks, errr....what have I actually done? Is this some sort of limited hard product only upgrade? (if so, interesting).. just curious at this stage...
are you going into mmb on the app? If so, the seat number tends to fluctuate been the old and the new one for some reason I’ve found after POUG
