Does anybody know if you'll have to pay the full price difference between your ticket and available booking class when doing this at sales office at the airport on the same day of flight?

it looks like it is a flat rate if it is done at the airport sales office on the day of departures.
if it is done at city ticket office is the fare difference...I asked last week at the city ticket office for a NYC IST ticket

That sounds promising! Do you have any idea what the approximate cost may be to upgrade one-way IST-BKK to Comfort Class? Thank you!!

Does BKK also have got an TK sales office at the airport or is this done differently?
Does an upgraded flight like this give the full amount of miles when crediting to miles and smiles or the former booked class only?

2) You'll get 150% as E / E+. C / C+ will get you 125%

Plenty of info available on this topic. Yes, upgrade is typically offered for flat-rate of 200 EUR/flight/pax. Check for the signs at check-in desks, or ask there directly if no signs are displayed.

Thanks Calex. It is clear that is $200 EUR/flight/pax from Y to A. My question is if it is the same offer from A to C

Sorry, misunderstood. TK has very good load for C, I don't see them offering A-->C cash upgrades soon. I guess it doesn't hurt to ask, but since an upgrade done by TA from A to C is ~500-750 EUR/segment, I don't see them diluting the product by offering cash flat-rate upgrades.

Thank you CAlex for the clarification.
It is going to be my first flight with TK and first time I ever fly premium eco - so I am a little excited but also a little hesitant as I am a spoiled brat who generally flies C ( the magic of Z fares!) and I am afraid that my delicate ego could not cope life on the other side of the curtain
At least I hope for stiff drinks and ambien to make the trip more comfortable!!
I had the chance to speak with customer reps and I am impressed by how nice they are. As I generally deal with dragon ladies it was a welcomed change.

Hi, is there a possibility to upgrade Economy V class (promotional restricted fare) to Comfort Class paying flat rate of 200 Euro? Is this promotion only valid for some Economy classed?
