Thanks. I did a search on the Dibb and failed to find it [Doh!]. Can you let us know what transpires egg.

Hi !

Lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and book an upgrade last night for £45 with FVC discount for our home leg Only wish we were flying out in May too !

I had seen this on the Dibb. Before I booked my May flights yesterday with VA I did a search on VH. However, if you check availability on-line for May (I was looking at flydrives) the system offers £110 outward supp and £50 return.

Any other dates show the full supplement.

There are, however, some interesting comments on the Dibb of people ringing VH and upgrading for £50 EW (May only) by upgrading existing bookings, and others that have apparently been given refunds when the full supplements had already been paid. I'm amazed that VH are doing the latter.

Jilly

Sorry - on further inspection the £110 is actually £50 PE one way plus £60 fuel supp - it only explains this in the full costing screen.

Its a ruddy good deal and one in the eye for first choice and TCD,
especially those that got refunds on prior bookings.[^][y]

I'm confused - can i get a refund on my earlier upgrade or not?? luckily i only did it one way originally (cost £175pp which at the time i thought was good) and have now just upgraded on return to for £50pp, with 10% off for been a FF, but would be great if i cud get some money back too

SOMEBODY SEEMS TO SUGGEST THEY DID oops caps sorry, but its amazing if its true, all you can do is ask.

Don't suppose any chance of that for April...? [:(]

Jacq - yer believe offer is March thru end of May - I'm flying 16th March on got offer - just need to book before tomorrow at 5pm!

I've got Econ flights booked for BOS in April - can i just call and pay for the upgrade?

Jacq x

should be able to - thats what I've just done - obv depends if there are PE seats available but otherwise its as simple as you said!

Good look - let us know if you manage it
Neil

Just on hold! Dunno how much money I've blown on extravagance and upgrades cos of you lot on this forum! [ii]

Oh well, it enhances my holiday experience!

You really are a lovely bunch of boys n gals [y]

Will let u know the upshot.

I think the offer will be dependent on destination and dates - I know MCO is only for May.

However, Jacq it looks like Boston (I presume that's the flight you're talking about) is covered through other dates too - I would certainly make the call if I was you.

Good luck
Jilly

Yep, BOS for 5th April though I know a lot of offers are from 12th April (damn the school hols).

Still on hold aaarrrgggh! [:(]

Hurrumph! Cos I'm booked with VH then I have to speak to them. The guy I spoke to however did say that it's more of a special price than buying an Econ seat and paying £45 for the upgrade. Oh well, ho hum. I'll poke up with it for this one as the other two (much longer) flights this year are PE. It'll just make me apreciate them even more (if I haven't died from DVT ).
Cheers

Sorry Jacq - thought you realised this was VH thing only so you would need to spk directly to them! Never mind - always worth a try though!

I might give them a ring too, just get too bored hanging on hearing that same old bird going on about falling asleep in her UCS [ii]

Envy's a terrible thing, eh?! [:I]

Oooh yes - one of the 7 Deadly sins - hope you dont suffer from any of the others !! Mind you - looks like you're starngling an alligator - but I think I can see the tape round its mouth - cheat!!! ( dont think thats a sin tho!!!)

Go on Jacq - get an upgrade into PE - you know you want to - we know you want to- and SRB knows you want to!!!

Jacq if you look at the VA website is gives special PE fares - yes there is a fare from 12 April but another higher one which covers 1st - 11th April

On this basis I would assume that you actually paid more for your VH package than someone departing after the 12th, so you've actually paid the higher fare already - I still think if you've got the patience to wait for the call centre then it's worthwhile ringing.

Don't forget you'll also get extra miles and TPs if you're successful!

Jilly

Yer i no how you feel - one day if Im a good boy i might get UC, but until then cheap PE will do very nicely indeed - could do with VH doing the same offer for PE to UC, any chances?........ no i thought not either - oh well - Ill dream on!

You're right about the higher fare, Jilly - chose to go on 5th April as the price hiked by about £100 on 6th!

Mark - if I could have done it without tape on it's gob then I would, but it was actually meant for small kids, not big ones like me [:I] S'all good fun and anything's excusable when on your jollies isn't it?! [:w]

Hey - if you talk nice to VS then your upgrade to PE may not be that pricy - hey its gotta be worth a go!!!
