M Class?
Hey guys,

With the new stupid rule that E35k basically can't ever upgrade on international flights, unless it's on M class tickets, that leads me to the question:

How do you book / find / price out an M class ticket...?

Let's say routes like YVR-HKG, YVR-SYD.

All my searches are only pulling Q's and U's...

Should E35k's just give up on ever selecting the eupgrade credits...?

if you tick upgradable fares it should show M class, or you can call in, or use Matrix or EF or KVS to help plan but still call in or deal with a TA.

Any North American flight pass also books into M. Europe Latitude Flight passes are probably cheaper than buying M fares directly, if you know you'll use all 6 segments, and have the option of upgrading immediately if R space is available.

Click "Display only fares eligible" box on the top of Select flight page, it will prompt you for your status, if you select E35 then it will show M in Flex.

Even in North America, it will give you the option of upgrading to a higher class to use fewer eUp credits, which will give you an M fare.

Thanks for the quick info guys / gals!

So from what I'm seeing when doing this is... 35k isn't worth the paper it's printed on (for international routes)...

The M class only upgradable is basically just crap...
