Upgrade pricing factors
I've been keeping half an eye on ET>CE upgrade prices for a return trip to Venice in September.
Originally after booking it was about £290 or so return, so I held off in case it came down. Interestingly after I stumped up a few quid to reserve a seat on the outbound it dropped to £242 or so. I still held off (the lounge would be nice; I'm Blue) in case I got a decent POUG. Checking today, it's shot up to £502, although the increase is all on the outbound (£451 vs £121 for the return). Big jump in a couple of days- does this just indicate that the CE cabin is getting filled up? My only concern here is that my pre-paid seat (6F) is likely to get bumped because they reckon they can move CE back a couple of rows? (5 was the first "normal" row IIRC) - no, I'm not going to pay 500 quid for a lounge and empty seat next to me :) Or is the pricing a law unto itself? |
You will possibly find that some restricted fare classes that require a "book X days in advance" clause have now become unavailable

Unless that’s the price for three or four passengers, those kind of prices sound more like fare difference type upgrades! |

Interestingly the upgrade today is down to a total of £175 (that's the pay-price, not a puog). Somewhat more tempting...
