I compared the b/p in the app and the one it moves to the “wallet” for non-elite member
in-app - business, 1 checked luggage, 2 hand luggage
wallet - business light, priority marking, “luggage allowance in your ticket” Ticket says “0 pc” even after upgrade
go figure…

Above is the full chart on what each ticket type includes. From what I can see you get basically all AY Plat perks except Wi-Fi.

Yeah business upgrade is its own class. It does not just change the word economy to business. Economy Light does not become Business Light. For example it gives one extra piece of baggage so your allowance depends on your original ticket. If you had eco light you get now 1 free bag if you upgrade from classic you now get 2. Also it gives perks not included in blight.

Are all benefits listed there? So upgrade does not give seat selection, prio boarding, prio baggage or wifi? Im pretty sure I had prio baggage last time i upgraded without status, but not sure. It is quite some time ago. Could have changed since too

Quite vague details indeed.
Award tickets come with free seat selection in Y, so I would assume the same applies to J. I don't ever recall seat selection being mentioned on the upgrade page. IMO upgrades are treated similarly to awards in terms of perks given that both use U bucket. One notable difference is in case of rerouting on a different carrier you are subjected to coach if you upgraded whereas awards stay in J.

Business light vs ckassic question
Dear all,
Im not an AY expert at all, then sorry for my silly question.
As Im considering booking a business class ticket, I have a doubt: on my desired flights theres a 240 difference between business light & classic fares, where the only difference seems to be that with the latter 2 checked luggage are included.
If I select Light fare and then add the 2 luggages for 70 each though, theres still a 100 saving over Classic
Is there any other difference between the two fares that Im not spotting?
thanks

No one mentioned the reduced earnings? I had to check the ssl certificate because I was afraid I wasn't on FT anymore
No ASR in classic anymore, so it isn't technically lost in comparison to classic

Hi,
I've been reading through this excellent thread and I'm wondering if someone could clarify something for me, as the more I read the more confused I became. That's my fault not yours.
I have a booking LHR>BKK>LHR ticketed for January 2022. Booked in R class way back in April, Business Campaign Classic.
The confirmation email contains the following text:
CHANGES (BEFORE / AFTER DEPARTURE) Yes - Until 7 days prior to departure otherwise 250 EUR
CANCELLATION (BEFORE / AFTER DEPARTURE) 75% refund before departure, no refund after departure
Changes, I assume, referes to the ' Book with Confidence ' policy.
However, what does cancellation actually mean, ie, if I cancel before departure (eg if Thailand isn't open) do I receive back 75% of the ticket cost? What if AY cancel the flight?
Sorry if I'm being stupid.
Thanks in advance
