use of BMI gold card upgrade voucher
Search funktion not working !
I have some question regarding these vouchers.
On the front it says :
At a diamond club gold card member, this voucher entitles you to a one way upgrade on any bmi operated scheduled flight - strictly subject to availability.
The return side says:
1.) One sector upgrade to business class ( upgraded economy on transatlantic flights) is offered on bmi operated.........
So as far as I understand, BOM and JED and RUH are BMI operated flights, which are not ransatlantic ! Will I get an upgrade from any paid economy into business on this flights???

I am guessing Transatlantic just means 'Longhaul'.
BOM is not around anymore and good luck on JED/RUH, it looks like C class on both routes are so full its impossible to even have the space avaliable to use an upgrade voucher.
How will the upgrade vouchers work on the DME route? I assume you can use them from Y -> C??

I'd hope for a strict interpretation such that the upgrade to premium economy applies only to transatlantic flights. However, I'd not be shocked if they really meant, or want it to mean, "long-haul" as the poster above said.

Another question - I presume if you use telephone check in, it doesn't affect the ability to use the upgrade vouchers when you arrive at the airport?

bertheike - the gold upgrade vouchers you have have the old terms and conditions on them. The new vouchers sent out now with the Hertz double upgrade vouchers say:
One sector upgrade to business class on shorthaul routes where available, or premium economy on longhaul flights is offered on bmi operated scheduled flights when travelling on any bmi fare, subject to availability on the day of travel.
