Basically the price will be the difference between the fare paid for the original ticket and the current cash price for the higher class, plus a change fee. During a sale, the difference in the cash fares may drop.



These can be good offers, just to be aware that various things can prevent them being offered due to BA’s flaky IT.

These include flights with a connection, and multi-city / open jaw bookings

Also, if you’ve booked with a travel agent rather than direct, such offers don’t come until OLCI opens, if at all.

Thanks, we booked a package direct with BA.
