V-Flyer

Just booked a flight on VS to JFK in April...7th outbound (VS45), 11th return (VS46). When booking my Y booking, it asked if I wanted to upgrade...£172 for the outbound, £5 (YES, £5!) for the return, or £177 for the whole trip.

I went back and refreshed it again to see if it was true....it was, just snagged a PE return for a fiver, all booked, paid for, and confirmed...though I feel a bit guilty as it was too cheap. But if it stands, best deal I've ever gotten on a flight. Full stop!

Superb deal......well done....some interesting prices around at the moment but £5 will take some beating...

I wouldn't feel guilty if I were you, looks like that was the full price for PE havng just had a look.

Ahh well. It was £544.36 return including the PE upgrade.

Outbound is an O, PE back is a K

Those offers just simply offer you the difference between the cheapest fare classes available in the adjacent cabins. If you get an offer to go from Y to PE for £5 it means you've either priced up an expensive bucket Y sector, or there's a good PE sale on.

In your case it looks like the cheap economy buckets are full on those flights. Try to book it now and you get:

Please note that we have upgraded one or more legs of your journey. This is because the lowest available fare meeting your travel requirements is in a higher cabin than you selected..

Now booking into X outbound K inbound, but for £665...

So it looks like you did well

Ha ha -- tried it again and it is now offering O/X for £539 with a PE upgrade for £5! Maybe v-flyers were confusing matters...

Thats a stunning price. enjoy.

its all relative

I just looked at a flight for May, return economy JFK £398, and an upgrade to PE on the return flight @ £126, which may be a lot more than OP's £5 but the total flight cost is about the same @ £524

we booked a friend on a Vegas flight in May in economy and was waiting for the price to come down from its price of £466 on way at the moment, I thought i was in luck when it went down to £200 yesterday for about 2 hours and soon shot back up to £466.

Congrats on an excellent upgrade

550 for a PE return to JFK a damn good price, its usually a couple of hundred more even in the sales.

£3.05 to upgrade my return from JFK to LHR - amazing deals today !!

Boo you beat me. Lol. Thought no one could beat a fiver! Great deal tho!!! Was that from an X?

Went straight on to My Booking this morning after I had read this to see if I could get an upgrade to my JFK booking and guess what the My Booking site is down!!!! Too many of us trying to do the same thing me thinks
UPDATE
Just managed to get thru to FC and offered upgrade for £55.33
