flight upgrades

My wife are flying Etihad Business to Europe next March. When we did the same 10 years I was able to upgrade to First at checkin for $800 each, and was planning to ask the same question this time around. I see on their website they now have an auction system two days out. Has anyone done this...

Not sure of the scenario here ... travelling on a single Classic Rewards booking made by the bronze passenger - I am platinum, but would like to press 'Upgrade to Business' - the query is ... if it is successful, will we both be upgraded? Obviously I don't want just the one of us to be upgraded.

Hi all, Bit of a strange question, but wanted to see if I should be concerned at all. I had a PER > CBR flight booked which was cancelled and moved to a PER>MEL>CBR routing (now a red-eye instead of a lovely daytime flight :confused:). Couple strange things about this: - Booked through a...

Mrs EchoNBounce just made WP too. Now denied the ability to lord it over, my thoughts have naturally turned to upgrade shenanigans. On the basis that either of us are happy if the other gets an upgrade: Is it better for us to travel on a single PNR and (de facto) both bid for a classic...

I've had an AMEX Discover card since 2016 (making me a poor churner). Looking to close so the 18 month timeout clock starts. I know back in the day, cardholders had some luck in upgrading. From what I understand, it was fewer points than what was on offer to new members but still a fair whack...

There may be a thread on this but I couldn't find it. I'm doing a mercy dash to Europe for a sick parent and I was wonderingIs it possible to use points to upgrade the flights (looks like a Qatar codeshare as the stopover is Doha). Also what are the odds of getting one? I've had very little...

Hi all Quick question as I couldn’t find it on Qantas.com - I’m travelling with family SYD-LHR and am the only one with status. Do the Classic Upgrade Reward requests get processed as a group per my status or each pax individually? I’ve had 100% upgrade success in recent years, but I travel...
