Last week I was upgraded through OT for 35 EUR on CPH-FCO. There were 12 rows in Plus, and I was the one and only guest in Plus. Felt almost like a private jet

I originally only mentioned the booking class to let others know that OT upgrades still book into Z/C and not A as mentioned in the wiki.

Indeed, Z will earn 2000 points. Let us know when they posted the points.
You can also look up the e-ticket on Saudi: http://www.saudiairlines.com/portal/site/saudia/
Go to manage my booking, than use the e-ticket selector. It should show the classes on the ticket.

Not all systems print the class of service (Big letter) and the booking class (smaller letter) on the BP. Most actually only print the class of service.

My OT upgrade history now looks like this :
March : BUD-CPH, SAS PLUS, 1500 points
April : DUS-CPH, SAS BUSINESS, 2000 points
May : CPH-PRG, SAS BUSINESS, 2000 points
May : PRG-CPH, SAS BUSINESS, 2000 points
July : CDG-CPH, SAS BUSINESS, 2000 points
So it seems to me that OT started upgrading into C/Z at some point and that it's not only a temporary glitch.

Is there a rough Price you could tell me, if I am thinking about upgrading an Eco-Trip on SAS (booked in "O") from CPH to IAD using Optiontown? How much would that cost?
And, in Addition: Is this just a one-way Upgrade? Or could I upgrade both legs in one round?
Thanks!!

CPH - IAD
Go - Plus $198
Go - Business $427
IAD - CPH
Go - Plus $194
Go - Business $423
So you pay one-way but you can pay for both ways in one go if you want to.
Hope that helps.

CPH - MXP tomorrow denied.
I have now learned that if I want to earn a certain amount of points within a certain time frame, I am better off buying PLUS tickets to start with and not rely on OT.. ...

Very much off topic : class (big) M, (small) Y on Lufthansa : does anyone know the eurobonus point earnings ?
Add : Seems I'll be getting 1250 points per leg (2legs), not bad considering that this trip is a sort of milage run....
