Any other feedback as to what kind of offers you'll receive if your ticket is booked on Delta (006) ticket stock? I'll be flying DL ORF-JFK in just over two weeks and connecting to JFK-CDG on AF. So I'll be doing OLCI with DL since that's my first flight.

Any chance the AF MMB page or the app will show some offers at T-56 or T-30? Of is the T1 AF desk at JFK my first option to check? I'm guessing by that point there won't be any seats left...

Thanks,
Keith

Got exact upgrade offers at airport. First table is if I have taken an offer before.

Thanks for sharing. In SIN they have similar sheets printed everyday (prices vary daily, I suppose depending on the loads) although there is only one chart.

I wonder what does NDPU means: Non-discounted price for upgrade? Also what is the trigger to use discounted Vs non-discounted?

So it seems like they value a mile at ~0,006€ for those upgrades, according to the chart posted above. Is this a good use of miles?

Totally... There were 15 seats left in J at check-in and 5 in W.
before boarding by 45 min, 5 seats left in J and 10 in W.
Would it have been with BEST seats, i may have been tempted. After boarding the cabin chef came talking to me, she asked if I did not have enough miles to upgrade to J, I said I did but the prices are expensive and the 2 3 2 J Cabin isn't worth it. She was like shocked with my answer. I told her I don't want someone jumping over me or being in the middle seat in J, she then agreed and said 'me too' .she had no idea about the upgrade table I showed her.

What they told me at the counter is that discounted upgrade is for those who did not take an upgrade offer before but they did know the period. I did take one upgrade to W last year in May to JFK. I also took one for J on the way to GIG a week ago but was on KLM flight although part of this same ticket on which I got the 'discounted' upgrade offer. I guess they meant upgrade on AF metal.

i misread it for a second and thought it was CDG-SFO for 539 euro which is quite ok. But it’s Moscow!? How on earth is that possible?

bodory Jun 11, 2018 8:25 pm

Those European business class seats are so underrated ;)
