a friend is taking ORY-RUN tomorrow, V class fare (1200€ ticket). upgrade offer at check in to W 579 € or 96 500 Miles!!! for J: 1650 € and wait for it.... 188 000 miles. is this a joke?? last year same day, the offer he got for business was 300 € (ticket price was 1400€, i don't have fare class). the worst part is that it may have been bought as the offer for J is not available anymore few hours after check in.
this morning, the same crazy offer for business popped out again. |

And, on a satellite note, the number of miles requested for an upgrade is giving us an idea of what it will likely cost for a last minute award redemption in the new FB rules from April 1st, 2018. One better burn his FB miles quickly. |
Hi,
Another data point: Last week on my KIX-CDG flight, business was offered for (actually not too bad - but I still decided not to take it), 349 Euro. There was no mileage offer (at least not on the website) and since I was connecting from another flight, I only got to the gate about an hour to boarding and they did not want to process any more upgrades. I asked onboard the chef du cabin and she looked at her pad and was given a total of 55000 miles, which for me is crazy for my S subclass Prem Y ticket. I just lived it out in Prem. Cheers! |

Now this is a p!$$take. It would have been cheaper for me to pay the advertised price at the time of booking. This is NOT exceptional AF, get a grip. The P cabin is currently empty (or it was when I checked this morning) so there's a P cabin FA without work. Make it worth my while FFS. |

That's right, when I checked later for mine, it jumped from $2737 to $2740 :p ... with those exorbant prices, even currency conversion rate changes become visible.
Edit: moot anyway as the aircraft switched to 777-200ER. Hope nobody took up the offer! |
Pretty good price for the distance and since I'm on a award ticket in Y. Would have taken it straight away if it wasn't for a NEV (btw, what are they still doing on NRT ???)

I am very annoyed. I received an email yesterday morning at 05:16 offering me an exceptional upgrade on my flight tomorrow, MAN-BLR. By the time I had woken up, the offer had disappeared and the Plat line had no knowledge of it (or upgrade availability for that matter). I don't get to post whatever the (possibly ludicrous) W-J upgrade offer was, dammit. The price difference between W and J was about £300 for the return trip and I took that when I booked the flights, thinking I was unlikely to get anything as good as that as an upgrade offer...

You purchased a J ticket according to the text. What exceptional offer did you receive? from J to P, I assume. |
