AKL --> HNL NZ10
Y --> PE
$380 x1 no uplift (sadly *G doesn't count)
Declined three days out - boo, then again, going to HNL!

Shame my recognition upgrade PE to BP didn’t clear on the way out 28 March. They were still upgrading at the gate, but not me

I went to lodge two Elite APD upgrades to BP a last week and noticed the starting price now for an Elite OneUp to the US is now APD610. It really makes you wonder what the point is of even making OneUp available to Elite customers!

To catch out naive Elites? If can get an elite to scrub APD610 compare to the Elite APD Upgrade price, great for return on reducing liabilities on the balance sheet.

Side question: Are elite APD upgrades stackable like RUs to go from Y to BP?

Of course they may take on board your feedback and increase the Elite APD upgrade price to make oneups once again relevant for you haha 🤣
