Are miles charged for fuel surcharge for upgrades?
It’s not news that EK have been devaluing Skywards from perhaps one of the most generous programmes in the skies to something very much more miserly. One of the Scrooge-like cuts was to start exacting additional miles for fuel surcharges on top of the miles required for the fare.
I’m trying to find out what the policy is on upgrades using miles, and would be grateful for responses from members who have recently made upgrades with miles. Are miles charged for fuel surcharge on upgrades made in advance (either online or by phone) or at check-in?
Also, does anyone have experience of making an onboard upgrade recently? Were additional miles taken for the fuel surcharge?
