    Hi

    I made a redemption booking using a companion voucher last week on return premium flights. I can now see that upper has come down to a level on the outbound that I have points for

    Is it possible to upgrade this, it’s 20k points more than what I paid for the outbound flight and apart from extra taxes are there any other costs to pay ?

    Shouldn’t be no. Just cost of upgrade with points and taxes. Ring them. If you get Swansea they are very helpful

    Absolutely you can, just call them. However you’re likely to find that price has changed as VS pricing can change up to 3 times a day so do it quickly.

    The taxes and charges now depend on the number of points for the ticket. Anything under 50k it’s a lower rate, over 50k and it at least doubles from what I’ve been able to make out (with help from other posters)
