Pro-active Upgrade cost tracking and questions thread
I wonder if it might be worth trying to compile a list of MMB upgrade prices as it might be helpful for anyone looking for TPs who is prepared to buy a cheap economy return and gamble on an MMB upgrade being available.
My contribution to the list is that on MMB recently I have seen:
LGW-MRS: £80 (£160 for a return)
LGW-BLQ: £80 (£160 for a return)
LGW-NAP: £100 (£200 for a return)
LHR-HAM: £100 (£200 for a return)
LHR-OSL: £125 (£250 for a return)
LHR-ARN: £125 (£250 for a return)

As a Silver there's not much value in that offer as I get lounge access anyway and I'm not that desperate for the TPs and on that route I have a fairly good OpUp record.
This week a WT -> WTP from LHR to BOS was £115.

I've split these posts out as I think the subject merits a seperate thread.
