Is it worth it? [POUG to WT+]
 
Been offered a £189 poug for my return from singapore to london is it worth it? Without knowing what seats they are in wtp?

Just checked there are 3 reward seats in club

If you're not going to miss the money, definitely.
If it means you won't be able to go out this weekend, then no.

You cannot upgrade with avios after a POUG.

I think it's all subjective. I'd rather spend £189 for extra comfort and skip a weekend socialising, particularly for such a long flight.

Personally I'd only do it if I thought it would make the difference between sleeping and not sleeping. Otherwise it's not an attractive enough offer to make me bite.

On a 13h flight, WTP is definitely worth it for £189!

Just curious - if POUGs book into a normal revenue bucket, what stops them from being UUA'able?

It usually upgrades to a redemption fare bucket thus not allowing UUA (however it credits correctly as the POUG'd class).

^^^
(especially with the (small) increased chance of a further opup to CW if you are travelling alone and don't have a special meal selected)

Are you on the BA12 (744-operated) or BA16 (77W-operated)? If it's the BA16 I'd be particularly interested in POUG to WT+ given the excellent cabin on that aircraft, but if you may get stuck in a middle that'll dent that a bit.

Isn't the charge for pre-allocation £30 on WT+ from Singapore? Couldn't you call BA to check if aisles/windows/whatever are available and if so view this as a £219 POUG opportunity (£189+£30 fee)?

I amon ba12 departing sunday the 19th @ 23:10

It depends on how busy the WT cabin is. If it is pretty empty, WT can be more comfortable than WT+ cabin as you can raise the armrests and spread out across the seats to get some sleep. In WT+ you are stuck with your single seat.

£189 works out as <£15 an hour...the extra space, better seat, better food, additional luggage capacity (if needed) and extra tier points/miles would make it a no brainer to me.

1,686 extra avios if Blue and 35 extra TPs.

55 TP's difference (90 rather than 35).
