Hello!
Fairly new to the world of voucher bookings / upgrades but hoping to book a return trip for a family of three shortly from Edinburgh to Japan using a combination of an Amex companion voucher and a Barclaycard upgrade voucher.
Having done a few dry runs I don’t seem to be able to book the upgrade flight from Edinburgh, only from Heathrow. From what I’ve read this appears to be a known issue which can be rectified by booking with an agent. However, that slightly complicates the situation when frantically trying to reserve flights as soon as they are released!
So I guess my question(s) are:
1. Is this right?!
2. Can I book the Heathrow / Japan flight online and then add the regional connection to the booking later (for free with the same upgrade applied to the regional connection)?Many thanks!
I’m going to dodge both questions and point out that Tokyo is one of the most competitive redemptions out there. Depending on the time of year you want to go, securing three premium seats you will almost certainly want to be booking with an agent anyway… and be doing that at midnight (GMT) as the flights are released 355 days before your chosen travel date. Plenty of info on here about doing that.
And these will have to be two separate bookings as well – one using the 2-4-1 and one for the Barclays.
