Lima - First or Businessfirst?
 
Hi-

I am flying to Lima next week, and haven't been able to figure out if these flights offer free upgrades or not? I know Rio and Sao Paolo are Businessfirst like Europe (no free upgrades), but I have been upgraded to Bogota and Latin America.

Thoughts? And what are my chances as a Plat?

I flew EWR-LIM a couple of years ago, and had no problems getting EUAed on this flight, as a NW Plat. In fact, I think there were open seats too in FC.

My rule of thumb:

If it's to Central/South America/Carribean and on a 737 or 757, then you get the EUA. If it's 767/777 then you don't.

Good rule.

Generally, you're going to have more luck with an EUA from EWR v. Houston.

A great discussion of the service, aircraft, upgrades and all sorts of useful information.

thanks guys, good info.

Also, I used a TC to book this trip, but I'm still allowed to obtain an EUA right?

Correct. As long as miles aren't used to buy the ticket EUA is OK.
