Thanks, great service. Very smart... think about it next time you have a question :/

For others who come across this:
- Smart Upgrade will book in P and credit miles accordingly
- red|Upgrade is handled like an opup, miles will be credited according the original booking class.

Perhaps worth to be added to the wiki.

Complex booking. Unable to use Smart Upgrade?

I have a long RTW trip in two weeks. It is entirely *A, and includes 3 different PNRs and 5 different etickets.

Precisely in the middle of this trip I have BKK-VIE on OS26. It is booked in S class. When I go to MyBookings on OS.com, I have no Smart Upgrade feature showing. I called reservations just now by dialling the OS Canada toll free number.

The explanation I was given for not being able to access Smart Upgrade is that I am not eligible due to my "complicated" booking with multiple etickets and airline file locators.

This doesn't sound correct to me. Any suggestions? Any OS lurkers here to provide assistance? Danke!

Did you book directly via OS site or TA? For smart upgrade only the OS stock tickets are eligible.

My company TA made all the bookings, but I have an OS eticket number (starts with 257..)for the flight in question.

I used the highly recommended FT technique of calling back and speaking to a different CSR. Unfortunately the result was the same. Apparently because of the "unusual" booking with multiple etickets and PNRs, I am not able to use Smart Upgrade. I was advised to request an upgrade at check-in, but by then all of the Smart Upgrades will have been determined. This is disappointing and very frustrating.

I could have selected TK on this routing (BKK-VIE-GVA) because of the more generous pitch in Y, but I decided to book OS and take my chance with Smart Upgrade. I did this only after investigating eligibility. The website says you need an OS booking. I have an OS eticket (257...). From the Austrian.com FAQ:

Is every Economy Class passenger eligible for getting a Smart Upgrade?
Yes, if you are holding an Austrian flight document (ticket number must start with 257…).

Exceptions are:
  • Passengers travelling with children under 2 years of age
  • Passengers booked within a group of more than 9 people
  • Flight bookings which are not yet confirmed.


I am looking for suggestions on how to escalate this and/or communicate with an OS company rep on FT. Thanks for your help.

BKK-VIE 360€ Rejected December 6th 2014

According to my TA, there were 5 J seats available for sale just over 72 hrs before the flight. I only noticed one empty Y seat, but I didn't go out of my way to count them.

Thank you for updating the post. But it should be rejected (in the wiki it states accepted)

Thanks
