Upgrade question
 

I am planning a trip to Bangkok before the end of February and I have a dozen SWU. I have the choice of travelling YYZ-HONG KONG OR YYZ- TOKYO then to BKK. Both return flights have I=0 but many empty seats. Both are the same price.

Any frequent flyer can tell me which one will give me a better chance for an upgrade?

I will post on the upgrade thread with the exact dates when my reservations are made to allow someone to take advantage of one of my SWU.

YYZ-NRT will have a far higher chance.

Are you E or SE?

Definately YYZ-NRT. YYZ-HKG vv is among the more difficult ones with availabilities to cash in certs for upgrades.

Thanks.

I am Elite member.

YVR-NRT/HKG have higher chances than YYZ-NRT even, I think.

I'm in the same boat. Looking to do YUL-BKK same time frame.

I can get a U fare out of YVR for about 2,000 but no matter what will have to sit in Y for NRT to BKK as it is non-AC.

Anyone have any advice for a discounted J fare on this route? Pls PM if needed.

Thanks!

Try sending a PM to seanthepilot...

You can pay for an upgrade at the gate with TG. Try going via HKG, as it is closer to BKK, the upgrade to C on the HKG - BKK portion was 200 USD when I did it back in November. Even if you have to sit in the back, the pitch is good.
