ZRH Airport Upgrade Biz to Suites
Anyone know if SQ do airport upgrades at ZRH? Not flown with SQ from ZRH. In last year have managed to pay a reduced upgrade fee at check-in counter in AKL/LAX/JFK from Biz to Suites/First. It seems SQ are opening up to this revenue generating opportunity!

JFK (Suites) and access to Virgin Club at JFK) was US$1750 - this was all the way to SIN (via FRA)
AKL(Suites) was super value GBP£400 (after conversion on my CC)
LAX (First Class B777) was US$1500 - this was also all the way to SIN (via NRT) - I was the only pax in 4 seat cabin; asked at ticket desk STD -4 hours and they made phone call to uplift catering.
I considered these to be good value based on the original fare I paid.
On each occasion the ticket desks dealt with it swiftly and as though it was 'procedure'. In JFK the very friendly SQ agent got out a laminate card with a matrix of upgrade costs from every cabin to every cabin.
I was travelling on paid tickets (not redemption) but all of them were lowest business booking class.
I am a long standing PPS member but don't think that had anything to do with it.
Only thing to look out for is that when the mileage posted to my Krisflyer account it was for the original Business class ticket awarded, however a quick call to PPS club and the full F class mileage was added and PPS Value was increased to reflect what I paid for the upgrade.
