Dear BA, please provide POUG from/to regions. You missed out on 2x£79 early this month by not offering it on your ex-LIS flight. Plenty of seats dotted arround in CE, and when I asked I was offered it at the airport, but they had no meals loaded, and at that late stage there weren't 3 seats together (one of us was already in CE)
I'd have taken it on the way out too.
On a westbound day flight?
Click "Thread Rules", and "Create a wikipost".

I'm dying to know what a WT+ to CW POUG might cost for LHR-MIA and a Wiki would make it easier to find that info!
If anyone agrees, I'll give it a crack!

BA273 LHR-SAN 24th August 2013.
MMB shows limited upgrade offer.
£599 for WTP to CW.
WTP was pretty expensive when I booked it. So, I am not excited about this offer. I would have been tempted had they offered it for the return flight which is a red-eye and then some.

OK - I took a stab at the Wiki using the data from the last few pages... Obviously still a work in progress. If it sucks - will gladly delete it. Just thought it was easier to find the official POUG rates this way, rather than searching through the thread.
And it would save questions from people like me, who can't be bothered to sift through 50+ pages to see if someone has already mentioned the rate or not!

Thank you for taking the time to do that!
Presumably, by "WT+" you mean the rate to upgrade from WT to WT+, and so on (as it doesn't make sense otherwise). I wonder whether it would be worth spelling that out to try to head off the inevitable question?

And quite right you are, which is why I was never cut out to be a rocket scientist. Wiki updated with a rather verbal explanation (I will work on a shorter way of delivering the point on the train home, but suggestions welcome!) I'm glad that at least it was easy enough to infer what was meant.

Upgrades with money for HEL-LHR flights are 89 a leg. Usually also a very good availability. On top of the 40 + 15 000 Avios redemption tickets for HEL-LHR-HEL, hardly not too much. I would however spend another 15 000 Avios instead of handing out 178 for the pleasantries of CE but there seems to be never any CE redemption availability for the same flights.

Does BA give any POUG offer on flights operated by AA metal (BA flight number) across the Atlantic from C to F?

What BA need to do is introduce a bidding process for upgrades.

CHF 99.00 to upgrade a GVA-LHR sector next week, which came out to £69 more or less.
