    Is it possible to upgrade some but not all legs of a journey to PE ?

    Currently, MEL to SIN flights don't offer PE. The system won't let you book Economy for MEL to SIN leg then PE on leg to Europe.

    Bid for upgrade question

    I just tried to bid for upgrade with an Elevate fare and it was deemed ineligible. I’ve never had any fare not eligible for a bid for upgrade with Virgin before. Is there some new policy that only Freedom fares are eligible? This is for a flight from KNX-PER.
