It focuses mainly on domestic travel but there are reports of international offers at the counters.

MMB upgrades with infant?
Hi there,
I have a couple of quick questions please, if anyone knows.
Do you still get the proactive upgrade offers in MMB when there's an infant in the booking?
And also, I think you don't get he upgrade offers on open jaw tickets; so does an itinerary out of LHR and back into LGW count as open jaw? Or do I still have a chance of the special prices?
Thanks for any advice.

I have a ET flight booked for this week.. No upgrade offers on OLCI because its part of a holiday booking... Can I still get the checkin upgrade? Thanks!

When booking a recent holiday to St Lucia I was offered an upgrade from wt+ to cw at the last stage of making the booking for the princely sum of £77. I presumed it was a mistake and booked it immediately. I hadn't even booked an expensive wt+ fare.

I got 189GBP WT (M) to WTP+ on LHR-BOS last week. Would have pushed me over the Bronze threshold earlier but TPs have yet to credit. I am already Bronze and am missing on some additional Avios
Hopefully they'll resolve the case soon as I am bound to hit Silver in the next week(s).

That isn't really an upgrade, it's an upsell, and there was a sale lately in CW and F.

Are POUG prices offered at the airport always the same as those offered through MMB?
For LHR-HKG, I can upgrade myself through MMB for £599. If I recall right from reading this and other threads, £499 was more usual on this route, so was wondering if I should snap this as long as it's still available, or try my luck and see if it's offered for less at the airport.

Travelling to Singapore in CW in Jan. Can you buy an upgrade to First at the airport. Travel agent booking so no up sell on BA.com available?
Thanks
Thanks

Yes, it may be offered subject to availability. Probably around the £499 mark if offered (otherwise it would be the fare difference ie. hefty).

Got LIS-LHR for £79 yesterday, didn't take it as I don't need the TP's atm.

If I buy a ticket in fare class O, does that mean I'm unlikely to get offered an upgrade?
