Although I know alot about travel and airfares after almost a decade in the industry, I'm always willing to humble myself and turn it over to someone with more knowledge on a subject and this is one of them.
I've got a client who is SG, wants to book 2x economy tickets for his kids (who I assume are NB's) and use his points to request an upgrade to Y+
My query is (and I'm fairly sure on the answer but wanted to get some fellow AFF'ers advice to clarify), if he's booking them, does his status weigh into the upgrade request at all or is it irrelevant? (just want to check as I usually book everything but if there's some benefit in him booking direct then I'll let him as its only Y bookings).
The other lingering question i'm left with, does he have to transfer the points to his sons accounts or can he request the upgrades on their behalf using his pool of points in his account?
Thanks for your advice (would appreciate if replies were limited to factual responses where you're 100% sure and not just your opinion).
