Is this offer available on all CFFEUR fares, inc e.g. ex DUS to the US ?
Edited: Found that the answer is yes !!!

This means an £1,850 fully flexible fully refundable ticket to JFK out F and back NCW (or v.v.) with free London stopovers. Presmuably this also qualifies for the 50k bonus miles if EU based ???
Or even out to HKG for £2,400 ex DUS. Wow that is really getting back to the ex LIS days and it seems that the ticket only has to be booked by 15 Dec. It looks as though this ticket can be banked and changed later for travel up to 31 Mar, whilst preserving the right to the upgrade. Or perhaps the upgrade only applies if the actual flights taken are booked by mid-December ?
NB: I have booked these CFFEUR fares through BA UK telesales who have to be talked through what classes to book in, but will then quote in GBP and the fare will be charged in GBP, saving any CC FX losses.
