Today, I upgraded my Mother's forthcoming YYZ-LHR flight from Y (H class) to WTP for £125, due to the special proactive upgrade offer in MMB. It now shows as P booking class.

I was just offered £100 for upgrade to CE LHR-ZRH.
Given that this presumably includes the enhanced APD, I'm tempted. (Can't remember if we get enhanced TPs and miles, but I'll check back.)
FWIW, our last few ZRH flights in A319s still had old-style 2+3 seats. The one I've just booked is an A320.

With regards to 'at airport upgrades' I have a few questions...
I have not noticed the option to upgrade at the airport... do you have to request availability at check in? Are upgrades usually available if space permits or is it not as straight forward as that?
If you have an MFU'd CW seat netting you 75 TP's and you got a paid upgrade to F for £399, would that mean you would get 180 TP's even though it was an MFU? Thats assuming you can buy an upgrade for an MFU ticket?

Are these "cash upgrades" associated with specific fare inventory bucket? (e.g "T", "E", or "W")?
So, for example, if I was to look on expertflyer.com and saw T2 would know that a cash upgrade is possible.

LHR-JFK September
WT -> WTP £115
This is £60 fare difference and £55 'Tax/Fee/Charge' and seems better value than our LHR-ZRH offer of £100 for ET -> CE.
It also means that I will have travelled in all 5 BA classes at last - or 7 if CW and CE and WT and ET are regarded as separate classes. And yes, former R is part of that.

Can you do pro-active upgrades on the BA website if you have a multi-city itinerary?
My LHR-ORD-DTW WT+ booking is teasing me with (obviously wrong) £100 upgrades to CW. If you try to purchase them, then the website throws up a "you can't upgrade this flight online error".
I can understand why the website might not be able to handle this, but it shouldn't really show silly prices, should it?

My next Euro flight is to AGP and that is showing as £150 each way from ET to CW. As a Silver I already get lounge access so it's not good value at all (and I'm not desperate for the extra TPs yet)
