[HEX] Free Upgrade To First Class for Star Gold on Heathrow Express

[Princess Fiona]

This is actually a pretty good deal. I generally pay for F and the carriage is usually peaceful and empty (maybe not now once the TK flyers get on there )

Brilliant will try it out soon with my gold VA card

Sadly a Gold VA card won't help. You need Gold on Star Alliance and VA isn't part of Star.

Avianca Brazil, bless you.

I will have to bless my NZ Tiki /dodgy Gold card. I knew it would come in useful one day

If your initial post was in jest I apologise but as the initial post doesn't have emojis or other visual indications of humour it's difficult to interpret it that way.

And I suspect you are not alone in this marki.

Most likely not ...... However another reality has been updated

Great benefit!

Here's the Ts&Cs:

Star Alliance - The way the earth connects

It states to/from T2 but that's shared with T3. From memory the sections between T5 and T4 are free anyway?

I assume you can use this with an advanced purchase tix? Which would make it even better deal. As low as £5.50 on weekends.

Yes it is free to transfer between 2/3 and 4 or 5. As you just show your FF card to the inspector onboard it should be ok with any ticket.

By no means sure I will be using HEX but would be interesting to see if I could get my (status-less) old mum along in F too. Probably moot.

They do say "full fare standard class ticket " , so advances are likely ruled out. I would ask the guard before sitting down as incorrectly using the promotion could lead to an on board purchase of a new ticket - which would be around 40 pounds.

Or a send-off maybe

A report or two on FT from the last promo suggesting that some guards hadn't heard of it and was used by a couple on comp tickets
