Actually thinking about this, and for 5,000 bat extra ( $150 USD maybe?) I could have purchased the full-fare business class, earned more tier miles, and have access to the J lounge in BKK.
J lounge access is $100 USD? So I only saved $50. For $50 I think the more tier mile were worth it. Not sure why most people here said it's a "no-brainer" :rolleyes: |

I am flying DEL-DXB-LGW on a y flex today . Got an offer for a J upgrade for around 65k INR after taxes
Considering that a J saver return was around 117k INR at the time I booked this ticket , I felt that this offer was very poor value ( no lounge/ no CD/ no J miles ) Also had a last minute offer at checkin for a miles upgrade at around 38 or 39k miles yestrday for both sectors which changed to 45k miles today. Now that was not bad at all as there are no extra taxes to.pay and I dont mind the lack of the other normal J stuff. Unfortunately I was short by around 10k miles . I didnt want to risk buying miles as the last time I bought some top up skywards miles it took around 2 days to credit. ( there is a disclaimer now ) |

Something is wrong here! I also was on a Y flex ticket from BKK - DXB, but for the upgrade they wanted 50,400 miles (which I did not have and why I proceeded with the cash upgrade.) Why did they offer you 39k miles on upgrade? Even 45k is lower than 50,400 miles, and your flight (DXB - LGW) is longer than mine! :confused::eek:

Actually from my Flex Y ticket I could have upgraded the entire DEL-DXB-LGW for 38odd k miles that was offered at T-48hrs ( if I upgraded both legs together )
At T-24 hours this changed to around 45k miles these were obviously without chauffeur drive /lounge access and as far as I remember would only give me the flex y miles PS : Rough estimates as I do not remember the exact number. Regret not transferring my Amex ponts to skywards in advance :( |
