FlyDubai upgrade offers
Hello, i have been trying to find what is the range for upgrading on FZ flights.
I dont see any thread that would summarize recent upgrade bid offers, any experience?

Thanks! That’s really good input, I’m actually considering PRG-DXB… But not interested in paying the full C price, nor in flying in Y…

TBS for some reason everyone gets upgraded on, even without bidding? Two of my friends, on separate flights and not knowing each other, who have never flown EK / FZ before (with obviously 0 status) were upgraded on that route on non-oversold flights.

I recently flew MED-DXB return, the minimum upgrade offer was $160 each leg which is what I put in, I got approved on both! There was only 1 other person, it was only a 2.5 hour flight but the food was delicious & the seats are lie flat which was a nice surprise! My first time flying flydubai but definitely not my last!

Has anyone figured out how FlyDubai determines whether or not to accept a bid? Im flying on Sunday and so far 0/9 business class seats are booked, but revenue fares are $2000 one way on my route. Seems like a wasted opportunity if they dont accept any bid I place?

I think it’s quite common for airlines to accept the minimum bid if there are no higher offers.
The number of seats is limited and they control the minimum bid.

I remember seeing the minimum in the $600-$700 range each way for their longer-range flights (TIA, UTP). The seats look pretty decent -- are they really lie-flat? Parallel to the floor?

They dont have these seats on all aircraft though, as far as I know.
