Apologies if already answered, I couldn't find it here or on FT. I have a few domestic USA flights on AA coming up and have taken up a paid offer for a couple of flights. Looking at the ticket from AA, the fare bucket has changed from S (economy) to J (dom First). The flights were ticketed by...

I was hoping for an upgrade to business class on a recent purchase return to Japan via Sydney and Cairns, 4 flights in total. However I was disappointed to discover that apparently Velocity had no availability on those flights however could be purchased separately to business class. Never...

Hello brains trust. I have seen this question answered before but my search skills have failed me. I have a booking coming up I’ve requested an upgrade on, but have just booked a trip prior that which will tip me over 1400 SCs. Are upgrade requests processed on the basis of the members...

Is $7600 AUD good value to upgrade Emirates Premium Economy to Business, for SYD - LHR, for 3 adults & 1 child? It seems to me to be good value, at least compared to the same upgrade on the return leg (Athens to Sydney) which is over $19K AUD.... These are the prices quoted on the Emirates...
