The lowest Plusgrade possible offer to business class for the new BOM-WAW route on a one-way I booked (quite expensive in Y - $600) starts at $550.00.
I'm looking at LH/LX r/t fares going cheaper closer into my dates of travel, so canceling this booking, because LOT only flies 2x weekly to/from BOM...
If they confirm you and you have to change/cancel the underlying booking - can you get a refund of the Plusgrade payment?
Edited to Add: Since this was a test case, and after waiting hours on the phone to cancel, they said that the refund will be only processed *after one month*! ("Due to the Ukraine situation...") ::facepalm::

Using the war in a neighbouring country as an excuse to delay reimbursements and improve cash flow is a new low. How on Earth are the two related? Last I checked, no major payment processors were headquartered in Ukraine.
