Evening all,
Just had an interesting chat this morning as I dropped the missus off at check-in for her trip to LAX with the check-in agent. We'd asked what the upgrade situation was and although there were no operational upgrades on offer, she did talk for a bit about their pay on the day policies. Common sense stuff really - if economy is overbooked but they have plently of PE left, they will actively discount the upgrade price for that leg, apparently even walking the check-in queue offering the price out to interested parties if things are really tight. Alas, PE was almost full with a non-fully booked Economy cabin so today's price was 250 quid.
Anyway, I was wondering what upgrade deals people have managed to swing on the day of their flight? Exactly how cheap have they managed to get a bigger seat for? LAX in particular, since I'll be flying out there pretty soon too!
