Not an issue with SAS. Both upgrades for points, Optiontown or op-ups from Eco to Business are unproblematic, even if technically a double upgrade. With OT you can choose both E+ and C. If you get both, C has priority

Signed up for upgrade from Economy to Economy Extra on SK983 CPH to NRT March 27th couple of months ago when I booked the flight.

Upgrade cleared on March 24th.

This is the first time I fly with SAS.

Do I get now more miles (I collect with LH Miles&More) for the CPH-NRT segment or do I just get the miles for my original booking class?

Hi,

Congrats :-)

The upgrade will change the booking class so you will get more miles as well. I cannot remember the booking class for Economy Extra but if the upgrade is cleared you should see it on the new booking you have or via look up on the PNR number.

The ticket gets reissued in B if you booked and issued the original ticket in Amadeus. Mileage credit will be as per B.

I have added the information in the wikipost on top of the thread for future reference.

BTW SK983 is badly oversold in M, so you might score an op-up into C as LH*G. Make sure you ask in the lounge ;)

117-document necessary?
 
Great new Wiki!

However, it is one piece of information there that bothers me:


Only SK/117-documents with reservation in Amadeus may be upgraded.
Only Intercontinental flights will be upgraded, other segments will remain unchanged
The information is listed as being updated in NOV12.

The need for 117-document (i.e. ticketed by SAS) is stated as a requirement for the new confirmed points upgrade from SAS. However, it has never been stated as a requirement for Optiontown, indeed: codeshares have been reported succesfully upgraded AFAIR. I have been upgraded twice using Optiontown on a Lufthansa document (flying to the US on LH, returning on SK). My last upgrade was in October 2012, i.e. before the information in the Wiki. I have a trip to the US coming up in May, on LH document, but returning on SK (no codeshares). Optiontown allowed me to sign up and pay as before, even if not ticketed on SAS.

Does anyone know anything for sure about this?

oliver2002 Mar 25, 2013 3:56 pm

I suppose they meant to say that if you have a 117 stock ticket and booked on amadeus they will reissue the ticket, all other (stock or GDS) bookings will just get a note in the reservation on SKs end and the required upgrade, but UTO will not reissue the ticket (because they probably can't lift the coupon and sticker it or exchange it in a non-native GDS)

Something really weird happened when I tried to check-in online. I couldn't since it seems SAS doesn't offer online check in for the Frankfurt-Copenhagen leg but I could select my seat for Copenhagen-Narita and it offered me 1H. I guess 1H is business class? BTW I'm just a *S.

Found out you need to go via the Lufthansa website to check-in online on SAS if you depart form Germany. So I'm checked in and it says 1H on my boarding pass!

oliver2002 Mar 26, 2013 1:55 pm

Yep, it seems the LH*S in B got bumped up ;)

Any idea why the Optiontown Site is down already for days??

This should be posted here more frequently to find it easier. No wonder UTo is not available for SK HEL-CDG flight in year 2013 period.

Honestly not sure what you're talking about. I haven't seen any downtime...... Maybe down/blocked in your geographic area?

Not sure what happened over the last 2 weeks.. I used www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com and it showed as down for everyone, however now I can access the site again. I guess it could have been some DNS hickup.
