    Question (any help much appreciated ) ⭐️

    How could I book an Aer Lingus flight (Dublin to Orlando) through BA redemption – paying cash for an economy seats and using avois points to upgrade to business class along with a companion voucher? It doesn’t seem to be an option – what’s the best way to handle it.

    Thank you

    Can’t be done, sorry.

    Even if it could be done, you’d only be able to upgrade a hugely expensive flexible / refundable economy ticket – I don’t know any airline which lets you upgrade a cheap non-refundable economy ticket to business using miles.

    Companion Vouchers work with reward/Avios tickets, not cash. You need to find a business class seat with redemption availability.
