New PE fare classes are out!
I just logged in my eUpgrade account and noticed this:
http://i.imgur.com/9JdsMzA.png So, O fares have the same eUpgrade requirements as Latitude now. E, N become discounted (I assume) PE fares and have the same requirements as Flex. I was able to confirm all my upgrades on my trip to HKG next week since I booked O class when that was the only one available. Curious about the accrual rules (and price!) for these... |
Seems only SEs will be able to upgrade E,N fares according to eUp website.
|
And the reason why FTers have been booking PE fares has mostly been elimintated...
Requiring the same amount of upgrade credits for E and N fares as for Flex fares doesnīt exactly encourage FFers to buy PE fares - itīs not as if PE fares are particularly cheap, though I guess it makes some sense when comparing the discounted PE fares on TPAC routes with the over-inflated Flex fares on TATL routes. In any case I doubt many pax will buy fully-flexible PE fares (O). |

It seems the fares have not been loaded in the res system yet. |

Agreed...Although it will be interesting to see where O will be positioned relative to Y and B. Not sure what the advantage of O will be over Y/B if O is indeed fully flexible PE?
It seems the fares have not been loaded in the res system yet. - one fully-refundable O fare which requires a return trip (and possibly min. stay / Sat. night) and - one fully-refundable O fare which can be used for one-way bookings (no restrictions whatsoever) The former would likely be priced somewhere between B and Y while the latter would be priced above Y. |
Given that only O is being sold right now, and O is instantly upgradeable, could book some cheap J fares right now and not need a whole lot of eupgrade credits.

Q: From Mar 1, can E50K and E75K upgrade 'O' and 'B' fares using their e-upgrade credits, without paying $500/$750?

Thanks OP, just upgraded all my flights for HKG and CDG. Got those single seats everywhere.

So an E75 will be able to upgrade a Flex fare (with the crazy $750 co-pay of course) but not a PE fare booked in E or N? |
I'm guessing that the current fares will be the "new normal" for E,N and we'll be seeing much higher O fares shortly. Time to book your affordable O fares while you still can!

Now let's just wait for AC to change all the rules on us, re-map an O booking to something else, the eUps not to work properly, to have to call in, etc., etc. Noooo, that would never happen. :rolleyes: |

I know that AC really doesn't like E75s / E50s but they seem to be taking it to extremes if this is the case.
