Reply To: Has dynamic pricing affected the upgrade with points option?

[nike85]

My understanding is that to upgrade a booking with points, you now pay the difference between the maximum ‘saver’ points price for the cabin you are upgrading FROM, and the current points price of the cabin you’re upgrading to.

So if you’re upgrading from PE to UC one way between London and New York, and the UC seat is currently selling for 60,000 points you’d pay 60,000-17,500=42,500 points.

So the points value of th cabin you are upgrading from is fixed (if purchased with cash), but the points value of the cabin you are upgrading to is dynamic based on current points selling price.

You can find the min and max saver pricing chart for peak and off-peak dates here https://flywith.virginatlantic.com/gb/en/flying-club/spend-points/reward-flights/saver-reward-seats.html

Hope that helps!
