Rewards in C on Sri Lankan
Hi Community,
my partner and me need a conncocting flight BKK CMB return in late Sep mid Oct. so far we are booked with BA avios to eco because only 1 bus seat is available.
would it make sense to book this one seat and hope they will open another reward seat close to take off and then cancel the 2 eco seats?
how s the Sri Lankan policies? thnx

I fly that route a lot, too. What I usually do is buy the cheapest seat and then use their bid-for-upgrade program. The minimum bid on that route is $125 each way. I always bid $130; and in the two years that I've been flying that route, I've missed the upgrade exactly once.
but I like the idea..
any experience about the rewards opening up ahead?
