Upgrading Getaway/Elevate flights to Business. SC question.

[oz_ally]

Good afternoon everyone I have a return flight ROK - BNE booked for the end of October. When I booked there were no extra/double SC deals. I was able to get Getaway for the return leg but had to go for Elevate on the way down.

Out of curiosity I checked the same dates and times for these flights and noticed that Business is now only $182.11 each way (cheaper than Flex). I booked prior to the new fare classes and what I paid back then is only around $60 dearer return if I upgrade to Business. If I “change” my fares to Business each way (not bid for an upgrade) will I get the Business SC (55 each way) or what I would’ve gotten with my original booking?

Thanks for any help and advice.

Yeah you'd get higher status credits for paying for the new class instead of 'upgrading'. With the new accelerate status offer, I think you'd end up with 80 SC each way in business.

Thank you so much for that info
