Hello Zedd85 and welcome to FT!
I guess that place would be this thread
The problem with upgrading from PE to J with eVouchers is that you can only upgrade from expensive booking classes (G and E). Currently around those dates a return ticket in E is about 2000€, while a ticket in P (business class) is 1900€. The cost of the taxes for a J redemption is about 500€, so you're looking at about 3000€ for three people, plus 210k miles. If you have no rush of spending these miles, a R/T ticket in PE is less than 900€ right now, so you'd end up spending less cash and could keep your stash for another occasion.

Awadrd booking: Change inbound flight after completed outbound flight
Hi, i have booked an c open jaw award with m&m (regular ward fare), involving several carriers. I have completed the outbound flight already but need to change the date (& route)of the inbound flight now.
Departure and Destination airport remain the same though
Outbound: A-B
inbound: C-A
unfortunately i do not see any availability on the original inbound route on the date i want to change the flight to. So the inbound routing needs to change too. Any chance?

Hopefully the correct thread: I have a revenue Y ticket SFO-MUC and would like to use miles to upgrade to C. Was checking the availability but it is none (only upgrade to PE is available). How is the upgrade availability to C in general (on this route?) ? Should I wait (and risk) or just go with PE ? The flight is midweek few weeks from now. Which bucket should I be looking at?

First class award on SQ A380
I found available award seats in First class on the A380 with Singapore airlines (SIN-AKL). I have no status in the M&M program. Is it common to find this availability? (I can’t find first class award seats on any other A380 routes with SQ). I read somewhere that you need to be a senator to be able to book first class on Singapore airlines A380. Is that usually the case?

Hi,
I have 106,948 miles expiring on 31.3. (in 3 weeks). I’m looking for the best flight redemption option for 2 people. Return ticket from Helsinki.
Obviously, the current bargain of HEL - LAX (or other NA equivalents) for 55,000 miles in business would be great but I’m 3,052 miles short (2x55,000 = 110,000).
I therefore subscribed to the Economist newspaper 2 days ago for which I should get 3,800 miles - enough to cover the shortage. But now I learned that it usually takes at least TWO (2) weeks for the miles to be credited to my account!
Any ideas on how to solve this, i.e. a) how earn 3,053 miles credited to my account in 2 weeks and purchase bargain business flights (55,000 miles return in J) or b) what else to do with 106,948 miles???
Thanks in advance!

Can someone give me a sense of how many seats, if any, LH will make available to M&M members in first class for FRA-USA flights (specifcally, BOS)? I am unable to search as I don't have enough miles in my account, but if LH regularly releases 1-2 seats per flight 360+ days out, I'll transfer miles over and book. Thanks!
