Has this already stopped working? It no longer shows me the individual booking classes :(

Indeed, it's not showing them... And if you try selecting a flight, you can't even go through with a booking, which leads me to believe it's a temporary thing (maybe the system is unavailable right now?).

We'll see if it comes back later on...

After flights having been credited, I can see now what was invisible for me the after the booking change.
The upgraded flight had the original booking class U. Atfer the change, it was credited according to class M.

Nice investment: for 281 EUR I bought 597 award miles and 497 tier miles.
But, I had to run in the marathon.

I read the info on top of the thread and found out that upgraded segments do count toward the minimum 4 A3/OA required for the lower qualification threshold. I did fly 2 segments yesterday as I only needed 2 to requalify, I had already flown the necessary mileage. Just now I checked and one of the segments, which wasn't upgraded, posted but the other, which was upgraded in I class, didn't. A3's earning chart says that I class doesn't earn mileage and I actually don't need it to. I'm only 1 segment away from requalifying and I wanted to get confirmation that A3 will count it - it appears that if it doesn't credit automatically, I would have to call and request it? Can anyone with experience in that area let me know? Thank you!

I called today for just this reason. The person on the other end asked if I'd used upgrade coupons as soon as I mentioned the online claim failed and said "so we have to do it manually". No fuss, just a time waiting to be put through.

Great. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I had the same experience.

It just took 3-4 days for it to show up. But I'm not sure if it's because the weekend got in the way.

IZ Tax
 

So I called again to A3's call centre, and the woman explained, that the reason for the tax increase is:

CDG airport charge "IZ TAX" ( :confused: ) of which I had only paid 5 euro , and in business class that Tax is 45 euro.

Anyone know what this is? (Sorry, no time to google it :p )

It seems that the phone agent was correct:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soli...rance)#Details

Basically the tax is a charity-tax, and is 4.51 euro for economy and 45.07 euro for business. However these fees are, according to Wikipedia, only for destinations outside the European Economic Area. Within the EEA the fees are about a quarter of that - which equal the fees you found on ITA.

So it seems to be related to your final destination, TLV. Even though you fly via Cyrpus (which is part of the EEA), the final destination is what counts. And in your case that is an airport outside of the EEA and therefore boils down to the highest category of fees :(

I recently flew two tickets with two legs each. Three of the four legs were upgraded with coupons. All four legs were credited automatically to my M&B account a few days later. I did not have to call.

So sometimes it works as it should. Why, I don't know.

ATH-CDG-ATH separate tickets both legs upgraded using coupons & no additional tax ^

Quick question - can the heavily discounted fares be upgraded with these coupons? (i.e. 'P' fare)

Yes, and that is a major benefit of these coupons - spend 60 Euro on a cheap ticket and get business class. Unlike BA :td:

Wow, that's great! Thanks benberg2013

Who'd want to upgrade to Club Europe anyway!? :D

If it's not for TP I couldn't agree more
