Hi,

Another data point. Tomorrow I have a flight from CDG-SIN (beginning in AMS). Have a ticket in PE, an S sub class. Checked in today and was offered an upgrade for 419 Euros/60k miles to J. I am still thinking about it since my ticket is already rather expensive.
A sort of just over on what I was willing to pay or use miles (in the old system, this would have cost me just 40k miles).

Cheers!

This is the same price range I got for exactly the same flight over 2 years ago, it was about that for both CDG-SIN and SIN-CDG, with one being in A and the other in S.

I would definitely take the 419 EUR option. Although not the 60k miles.

CDG-HND Z to P.... £2,686.60 :eek:

That's double what I've been offered in the past and is more or less the difference between the price paid in J/Z (MAN-CDG-HND) and full La Premiere pricing.

Not an "exceptional offer" AF. Turned down.

I have a interesting scenario. I called AirFrance and used my flyingblue miles to upgrade from economy to business. I did it the day I got a notification from expertflyer that there is O availability for my segment from CDG-BLR on January6th 2018 (AF192). This was on Tuesday morning. The agent processed my upgrade and I got a notification from AirFrance with the upgrade and the same was reflected on my AF and DL booking identifiers. The miles were also debited from my account. Then yesterday I get an email from KLM, first validating the upgrade to O for that segment. Then 30 minutes later I get another email saying that I have been moved back to economy to a B fare. When I speak with flyingblue they tell me that when I got the upgrade there was availability but now there isn't and so they dropped me back to economy. But when I check expertflyer it still shows 8 seats available for O. Any ideas what could be going on?

That's like $3600 (or €3050) :eek: ... unbelievable!

Indeed. In the past I've had offers of between €1400 - €1500. I might have taken up the offer at that price. Never mind, more money to spend on the finer things in Tokyo :)
