UPGRADING LHR SFO

I am flying to SFO Premium economy for my holiday and i am wondering ....If there was availability on the day to upgrade to ucs what should i expect to pay.

Depends entirely on your ticket type. What class do you have on your PE ticket? W/S/K/U?

That, of course, excludes "airport specials" which could be around £500 - but be warned, there are a lot of Golds on the 19/20 route - all with miles to burn, so the seats go quickly...

Preiffer,I have 2 X S class tickets.

Ah, S class is possible to upgrade with miles, as well as cash. If you have 40k miles, you can upgrade both to Upper on the day, assuming availability.

Failing that, I'd expect it to be in the order of £600 ish per ticket.

No miles accumulated yet,have to be large amounts of cash im afraid.£600 each is a lot of money.any other ways to upgrade without spending quite so much ?

^Um.........nope!

[:?] If you don't have miles and don't want to spend money, erm, well, maybe I'm missing something, but how do you expect to get the upgrade?

Buy some miles. 20K will cost you 300 quid I think - half what preiffer quoted for a cash upgrade. Get your companion to do the same.

buy miles or pay cash on the day...... decisions decisions
thanks for all help much appreciated
