Why not swap to an airline that demonstrates more than contempt for it’s customers and is willing to spend a tiny proportion of it’s £Multi BILLION profits on basics like; functional and reliable IT infrastructure, cabin cleaning, loading the advertised menu and resourcing customer service channels at a level appropriate to the volume of business ?

It can be “worth it” depending how tall you are, etc, but the extra taxes make it an expensive upgrade. You may get better offers simply through the app while looking at your booking.

Great site and insta! Quick advice pls 🙏🏼 … usually book biz class tickets with miles/companion vouchers – first is NEVER available – anywhere I can keep a track if first seats become available, and when are they most likely to become available?!? feel like I miss them!

Thanks!

Hey Laura,

It’s a constantly changing answer. Sometimes cash prices are very good, so it’s better not to use points, other times it’s great to use points. Generally, you get a better rate of return when you pay cash for the main ticket, and then use points to upgrade after. Hope that helps.
