Very Good Upgrade Price

Hello All

Not sure if a lot of you have been checking the upgrade prices on your flights lately - I have just got what I think is a great deal..!

So from Eco on an O Ticket to PE on a K (the observant V-Flyers will notice this is a VH booking) for 2 people from LGW to MCO for £177 - that for both so £88.50 each!

There are none on the return, but hoping that they release some more J's and ill be all over these...

I wonder what the odds are for them realising more, or indeed upper at this price!?!

Hi Daniel
Well done on the great price.
I was looking Orlando yesterday and saw some strange PE pricing (less than Economy's) for end May time.

And as if by magic that's when I am flying, well first of June for 2 weeks..!

Im on the phone to FC now to change my Seat Plus that I ordered but they are having a few issues (and I have been on the phone for 35 mins now! :(! so not great!)

Were the returns very cheap too..?

I can't honestly remember but I think so. I was looking at late May to go around bank holiday to come back either late May or early June. Economy was expensive but I recall Premium being cheaper than economy. Maybe was just the specific day I was checking.

Well Dan, I noticed the same, as the last time I went on the chat to VH they said that for me to upgrade our return flight from PE to UC they wanted over £1,300 EACH PERSON on top of what I had paid! .... Spoke to them yesterday and this price was only £542 each!

Check again this morning, just to make myself happy at what a bargain I had bagged, and this had gone way up to over double again ;)

What a result - are you on the same flight / route..?! If so, a few beers in the CH are well in order..! I have wangled the CH entry for £50 each with Mrs Armstrong, would be great to meet a V-Flyer for the first time ever!
