Any chance of buy-up on NH operated UA award flight?
Hello all,
I booked NH flight (SEA > NRT) using UA miles on UA website in economy and was wondering if there was any possibility of buy-up at the time of check in or at the gate. I've been looking at UA and ANA website and couldn't find any options for an upgrade. I was planning to book premium economy but couldn't due to UA system not showing NH premium economy in some markets, and SEA is one of them. |
ANA initiated a 'Bid My Price' program for upgrades. 7 days prior to departure, you may receive an email allowing you to bid for PY. Not sure if a UA booking on NH-operated would be eligible.
https://www.ana.co.jp/en/us/servicei...rnational/bmp/ You won't be able to redeem miles for a PY upgrade until after 9/2019, as NH PY is offered as a separate class of booking or complimentary to NH elites. https://www.ana.co.jp/en/jp/amc/news/info/201810/py/ Based on load and to squeeze extra revenue before conducting op-ups, ANA will sell upgrades at check-in. These can be as low as $500 for Y to C. You should inquire upon check-in, but this is not published and happens on a case-by-case basis. |
Thank you for the reply. I haven't received any emails about this bidding program but I'm guessing that is because I booked it through UA. (we are leaving on 4/10 so definitely within the date)
I will ask if they have any PE seats available at check in. As far as I could tell there were only two PE seats sold when I looked so hopefully they will still have seats available. |
