We have been looking forward to our next trip to Vegas in January, in PE (K class) from Manchester. We both have over 40,000 miles so Mrs C asked me to call FC to see if we could use our miles to upgrade to Upper. I said there would be little point as G availability to Vegas is at a premium and rarely available. Plus it would be too expensive anyway because we would need to pay for an upgradable ticket to S or W.

Mrs C refused to be beaten and it was clear she would not let this drop, so I reluctantly called FC. I spoke to a really helpful agent who was simply fantastic. The upshot is that we are doing the full round trip in Upper . The total cost of the upgrade from K to S to G was £470 each! Needless to say I am eating humble pie and Mrs C is over the moon!
So am I!

Result - well done - hope you are equally lucky at the tables / slots. y) y)

As Nick says, hope you have the same luck at the tables

Fantastic result! Great way to travel to sin city! ^)

Well done ^) ^)

Another chance to disprove the myth that UC Rewards are never available (but off course you do need to do the legwork and keep checking)

Fully agree Buns it took some time but i managed to get dates by checking daily and used my 300,000 on 3 seperate flights this year and next year y)

Excellent - I was looking at G's for LAS myself next year and there seems to be plenty around on all dates/months.

Result. Never underestimate the power of Nagging.

I think the guys in Revenue have been having a bit of 'G field day' as all of a sudden May 2012 is riddled with G availability on SFO-LHR. I'd been checking for two G's for months, as there are four of us out in UC but two of our group in PE on the return. For a long time there has not been a single G in the whole of May and suddenly today loads - in fact 4 on our flight! So I just called and parted with 40K miles to get the parents-in-law moved from PE to UC

Hi
Just to add to the happy tales, I had booked a M & M LGW-LAS, LAX-LHR for Xmas day out/ NYD back in PE. Having seen on a thread on this site that there were excellent deals around and having tried a blind booking to confirm there was availability, called FC and after a long chat ended up with S class rtn and 80,000 miles removed from my A/C to make a nice UC Xmas surprise for my better half. Many thanks again to VFlyer for bringing this kinda stuff to our attention.
