Not withstanding the usual availabilty issues I wish to purchase 4 J returns to New York and then upgrade to F using my Avios.
I realise that the cheapest J fares are ex EU and I can see plenty of options using the normal starting points. However, when I select the exact same travel dates and request the J to F upgrade the price goes up by a considerable amount. I saw some fares go from $1500 to $10000.
I was under the impression that ALL J fares can be upgraded. I have upgraded J flights in the past using MMB without a problem but on this occasion I'd like to do it as a complete booking.
What am I doing wrong? Any advice welcome.
Thank you in advance.
