Upgrade with points on Aurinkomatkat leisure flights

Hello,

does anyone of you know if it is possible to buy upgrade to J if you buy your flights from Aurinkomatkat? As they are selling HEL-NCE flights only in ther website. The flight should be normal AY flight with J class.

Thanx!

I guess once you have a ticket # or PNR you can just call AY+ One of the good things of the AY+ prog is that all (revenue) booking classes are upgradable.

I believe NCE is a one-class destination.

At least this season Nice flights have a Business Class, same with Dubrovnik, though both being typical leisure destinations.

Can we see the roll-out of a new service concept here?

"To better serve our customers we have introduced the new "Pay business class prices for our economy class" concept on selected routes. This reinforces our other service concept developments, currently in test phase on our Manchester route"

Based on customer feedback and our experience, many of our customers would like to have more freedom of choice on what to pay, says Maarit Keränen, Head of Service Concept. With this trial we hope to be able to offer that suberp peace of mind that comes with the fact that no matter how much you pay, you will always be seated in economy.
