Upgrading a premium economy reward seat

Just a quick question - if i use my premium economy upgrade reward voucher, can i then upgrade that with miles to Upper if any seats are available?

Thanks in advance,

Cath

No, that’s not allowed unfortunately.

I thought so to be honest - Thanks anyway Gumshoe

You can upgrade it, but you need to pay the difference in miles from Economy to Upper, ( and taxes and fees) and you will get the PE voucher back into your account,

That said whilst that’s what should happen on 2 occasions for me the agent got it wrong and did upgrade the PE (having used a voucher ) to upper for just the extra miles. I know others have been lucky as well.

On one of my occasions I had a phone call a few days later saying the agent made a mistake, but they honoured the booking. On the other occasion nothing happened, I did sweat a bit when I checked in, in case there was a problem but nothing happened. I flew both legs no issues.

There’s nothing to stop you ringing and just saying you want to upgrade, and see what happens, you may get an agent who doesn’t know the proper procedure. And if they do know the proper procedure you can just say no.

Yeah I have had similar gaps in knowledge trying to upgrade a PE reward to Upper when I have been quoted the mileage for upgrading a PE revenu3 ticket rather than a PE Miles ticket.

I have managed to upgrade as well a week before departure. Originally they charged me miles upgrade from the PE but then rang me a few days later and said had to be miles from Economy to Upper. They would not honour it from PE. I didn't get my voucher back either, I assume it was because it had timed out by that point. Good Luck.

As always with VS call centre ...YMMV!!!

I think their ability to talk to customers normally is fantsrtic friendly, helpful, warm, but my lord they are so inconsistent with how they apply things!
