OK, not too bad. $1699 to Upper is not bad.

So let me ask the ass questions.

a) Do I get the tier points?
b) Do I get the extra miles?
c) When is the upgrade avail?
d) Can a book the upgrade with the strip check in?


Seams like someone has been snooping aroung LAS checkin....wonder who?????

each way or return?

Thanks

It's £1699. Still not bad?

a) not always - as you can be put into a reward fare class, this has happend to me before. It just depends on availability.
b) as above
c) at the airport

Those upgrade prices will be one way.

Economy to PE is OK but Ithink the PE to Upper is expensive - but I am assuming that this may be because of the route. Last year we were offered a PE to UC upgrade on the VS005 LHR-MIA for around £600!

[preiffer]

The upgrade prices were one way, in GBP £

They (according to the sheet) book into Z for Upper and K for PE, so no reward classes are used for those rates (I know James mentioned that sometimes they do, but this sheet categorically stated that they book into K or Z)


You would get tier points, and the correct amount of mileage. Not sure about Strip-checkin Ben.


Incidentally, I can see why the Upper upgrades are so high.

Landed at LGW this morning, and I was one of 10 people getting a limo home on the VS044 (ie: J or D bookings). Out of 14 seats, 10 J or D (maybe more, some without cars?) tickets makes it quite a neat little earner...

Strip check-in??

According to this quite lengthy discussion, it doesn't happen any more.

Thats why I asked[y]

So wouldn't it be cheaper to upgrade from Y to PE and then from PE to UC in two steps rather than one?

P.S. Looks expensive for K (about £1k) and very expensive for Z (£3.8k) when you consider the Y ticket already purchased.

Last time I checked a Z was going for about $5K [:0]

Of course it has been a while..but the VS fares to LAS are high..guess having a non stop is a big plus huh

$5k looks cheap compared to the upgrade price which amounts to around 50% more than this - $7.5k based on a £500 M fare and 2*£1600 upgrades.
