The FAQ state that the co-pay is taken at time of request, even when on a waitlist.

ETA: The current policy is to charge the co-pay upfront.

Q1. Do they ever upgrade elite members on international flights like they do domestic flights?

Q2. If I go with the mileage upgrade option what is the deal on an M fare? Seems like 15,000 miles + $250 each way which seems like a bit of a rip-off
Maybe I am looking in the wrong place but I don't think 15,000 miles is correct. CO.com says a NA-Europe upgrade is either 10,000 or 20,000 miles each way. 10,000 for full fare economy, I assume that's Y and 20,000 for everything else.

Be sure to play with the fare classes and even routings.

When getting a ultra low fare the up fare is higher but the miles are the same unless you get a full fare (Y) ticket.

Sometimes getting Lowest Refundable will cost less as the up fare is lower and still paying the same miles as non Y fare.

But, also try lowest first class fare as I have seen this very close to the Lowest Refundable when adding in the up fare, then you don't use any miles.

Also, you might try booking one leg in first and the other in coach.

Yes. But it's refunded if you don't clear.

You are right, I am not sure where I got 15,000. I might have been mixing that up with another airline/trip

Automatically, or on request?

It is supposed to be automatic about 7-10 days after the flight. It doesn't actually always happen automatically. But it is supposed to.

Why are you posting this in the CO forum, and as part of a different thread? Please go to the AF/KLM forum, and post the query. As of Saturday, CO is no longer part of Skyteam.

Easy there. He realized his mistake, and instead of deleting the post (and saying some think like <deleted>), he added the KLM part. He's new!

By the way, welcome to FlyerTalk, Butler C. Conant!
