Are BA only offering these upgrades to flights booked directly with BA? I have a discounted BA/QF flight that includes SYD-LHR on BA10, but was booked through an agent.
The upgrade option is greyed out & was just wondering if there is any chance of a £399 upgrade being offered?

I haven't been offered an upgrade option at OLCI with a TA booking either so far, I wonder if anyone else has had any offers?
Next time I'm planning to ask at the airport which in theory may be possible.
It could be due to the class of ticket booked by the TA though?

described as £105 fare difference and £10 extra tax.
I didn't know that there was any difference in tax for different classes ex USA.

Travelling friday LHR-LAS on hotline tickets, any ideas on my chances of an upgrade and dont mind paying. We are in WT and would be after WT+ although i know there are only three seats left to sell at the mo. Cant upgrade via website and am travelling from NCL connecting at LHR. Is it worth asking at NCL or would that not work?

SYD-LHR on the BA10 was AUD$2000 to upgrade from Club World to First. That price was given at the airport, upon enquiring. Needless to say that I declined

BTW - since I mostly have TA booked tickets I can only do this at OLCI time. Hence the concern about BA's IT talking to, say, Finnair's IT at short notice and getting the transaction right!

As it happens HEL is one of the routes I might do this on, but there there are others e.g. Malev.

Can anyone confirm if a flight + hotel package booked on ba.com is classed as a TA ticket?

Hello,
Can anyone give me some guidance as to what the usual upgrade price is, (generally speaking,) within 48 hours of a JFK-LHR flight from CW to F. Just looking for a ballpark figure....not going to hold you to it.
For the JFK-LHR segment only.
Thanks in advance,
Habemus
