So, what I'd like to know if it's possible to upgrade by cash in FRA (I guess the SK ppl in OSL can't do anything)? Anyone with similar experiences with Varig? Will they allow this?
Thanks!
No cash upgrades, and unfortunately RG8779 is not quite full tonight. Normally your chances are quite good, as an EBG, for an op-up, and it wouldn't hurt to ask...
