Hello,

Last week i flew DUB-PHL on a BE ticket (As a OW Sapphire)

Was offered an upgrade on the app to PE while checking in $198. I didnt take the offer, but mentioned it at check in and the agent allowed me to upgrade at that cost.

On my return flight PHL-DUB no offers appeared on app

I have a MIA/PHX flight on 12/28 and have been checking the app for an upgrade offer. So far nothing but then I get an email from AA asking me if I want to purchase an upgrade for this flight. Yet when I go into the reservation both mobile and desktop no offer on the reservation. Quite annoying. I can always hope there will a complimentary upgrade/

Upgrade offer

Hi all, I was offered an upgrade and I was working on it and it went away, do you know how I can access that upgrade offer again or what do I have to do in order to be offered that? Thank you

Unfortunately they are transitory offers. I am guessing other people may have taken it or the algorithm changed the price. I don't believe there is a way to get it back. However, in my experience the best offers are usually a few weeks before the trip occurs. If you check back in a few days you may see it again.

I saw a some good offers at the end of October. I am not sure if AA was looking to add some revenue before it had to report Q3 results.

Upgrade offers with paid MCE seats?

Currently have transatlantic flights booked for ~6 months out - the In-App offers are a bit high based upon thread feedback (Y-P 350 outbound ~1K return, Y-J ~2K). I'd like to secure some MCE seats for the moment - if I would purchase in-app upgrades does the MCE seat fees get refunded?

Yes you get a refund of MCE fees typically.

PHX-CLT December 21, $158 per person to upgrade from MCE (we had purchased Main Cabin). As there were only two seats left in F, we thought it was a good idea to take the offer. No offer from CLT to FLL, but, as it is a much shorter flight, it is not as much of an issue.

HND-LAX
AA 170

Y purchase: $299 (MCE due to AS 100K)
Offer taken: Y-P $175 on 21 Dec 2023.

Was hoping for a Y-J offer of $350, but lowest seen so far was $694. Took the Y-P $175 offer rather than waiting with fingers crossed.

Unfortunately, as with other reports, it seems no offers are now populating for P-J.

Is that because PE-J offers just aren't given once you go to PE? Or even if you were still in Y, Y-J offers aren't given because the cabin is getting full? That is a nice deal for PE however.

I'm flying from AKL - DFW. I'm about 2 months out, having had the reservation for about 4 months. All I've ever seen is offers for Y to PE. Does AA release Business offers closer in? Or am I not looking the right place?
