Upgrading from Economy
Hi All

I have booked to travel with Eva Air from LON-BKK in April.

I an currently booked in Economy but as it's such a long flight I might look into upgrading to probably business class for maybe just one way.

My travel agent quoted £1433 to upgrade per person for both directions for 2 persons. Is this a good price? I expected it to be lower...

I have Avios points but I don't think Eva Air take these? Would it be worth waiting until we are at the airport to ask about upgrading there?

thanks!

I checked LON-BKK on EVA's website for 4/3-4/17.

ECO Special is 627 GBP
Elite saver is 825 GBP
Business saver is 1,900 GBP

LON-BKK is 1,040 or 1,328 GBP, depending upon the day
BKK-LON is 859 or 1,146 GBP depending upon the day.

If you have any flexibility in your schedule, you might be able to save a little.

You are correct. EVA Air is Star Alliance, so you cannot use Avios points.

It is never a good idea to go to the airport and ask about monetary upgrades. Day-of tickets are expensive. They normally only have C(Flex Tickets). Asking then would mean a ticket difference between yours and the most expensive ticket they offer.

I never knew BKK-LHR has such cheap Business class tickets, only 1900 Euros!
