Yes very interesting! I know we can&#39;t do that with CX at all, the whole upgrade coupon concept would fly in the face of our service style. We can upgrade our FOC ticket with Asia Miles, but there is nowhere in my town to earn Asia Miles so that doesn&#39;t really work.

I looked up DLs upgrade coupon costs (only one that really interests me for the SYDLAX) but it said it only does Caribbean/Sth America and US upgrade coupons. Don&#39;t know what UA are flogging[/b]
North American carriers operate very differently to others. Generally, from experience and a wide circle of friends who work for airlines, North American carriers
afford their employees more generous facilities when flying on our own carrier.
In my 25 years I&#39;ve yet to seat anywhere but Y on a South Asia carrier - others may have been more fortunate.
Upgrades for a set fee are offered to revenue passengers on UA depending on loads. You cannot purchase such an upgrade if you are holding an ID ticket.
You will not find an upgrade for an international service for $100 U.S.
