Anyone successfuly bid for an upgrade yet ?

Hi there

Just wondering whether anyone has managed to successfully bid for an upgrade yet using this new feature in manage bookings.
We are flying to MCO next month and I have put a bid in, it's a bit cheeky but hoping and praying I will be successful as we don't have enough miles at the moment to upgrade our reward seats in EC.

When are you flying? I would love to have a go but don't seem to have the option on my upcoming flight next month

Hi where do you find the bid for upgrades function live?? Got flights to JFK booked but can't see the bid button to give it a go?

Cheers

are you on the right flights Glenn? forum/index.php?f=4&t=272393&p=798102&hilit=bid%20for%20upgrades&rb_v=viewtopic#p798102

the Your Bid trial is only on VS15/16 & VS45/46

Thanks for quick help! I'm on VS45 but no sign of upgrade function. Only option is the usual upgrade for cash function.

the VS FAQ section says its available on specific routes and specific dates

Looks like I am lucky then and on the right flights and right dates. Wow that kind of thing never happens to me

We are off to MCO on 17/2, returning 4/3 on VS15/16.
Current bid is £100 pp per leg so £600 in total for 3 of us. Not hopeful but as the flight is quite empty I am hoping they will be grateful for any extra revenue ):

Have everything crossed/

Is that upgrade to PE or upgrade to Upper?

Is that upgrade to PE or upgrade to Upper?

It's an upgrade into the next cabin of service so Y to PE and PE to UC. So not possible under this to go from Y to UC

Yeah, but I was wanting to know if lovestoholiday was doing to PE or Upper. I think I can guess its to PE... Though the concept of a 200 quid Upper upgrade makes me very happy...

My understanding it is only for Y to PE. It is not available from PE to UPPER.

I put in a bid for our flight to New York in April - now await to see what if anything happens, each time I check out our booking it ask's me if I want to up my bid - will report back if I'm successful - don't hold your breath

It's EC to PE for us.
Not travelled in EC for a while but on this holiday we blew the budget on a stay on the Gulf Coast so couldn't stretch to PE xx(
Good luck other bidders, I wish it would give you some indication of your chances. Would happily up my bid a bit if I was sure I would win

<rofl> as I'm sure would most people. Got to love auctions

This worked out for me - travelling on VS16 tomorrow, bid £210 pp and upgraded the T that I booked with miles to Ks! Upgraded seats and mileage earning too... Shame doesn't look like VROM though...!
