How to find a good price for UC?

Like others say, just keep checking, I would definitely take the chance of booking a lower price cabin and then waiting for an upgrade again.

Did they ring you up and offer it at that price?

Got an email, at first I thought it was an offer for some flights only and that if I checked our flights then it would be a lot more. It wasn’t

We are Flying Club members but I’m not sure that makes any difference, we had a current booking I think that’s all?

Depends when you go and where from, Manchester in school hols you’ll normally pay 1k+ economy, maybe 4k upper- each.

We go from Manchester in the school holidays and have never paid the extortionate amounts above

Can you give an example then of how much you have paid for UC in the school holidays?
That’s what the OP is asking for

How were you offered? Did you login to the website and had a banner offering you the upgrade price?

Just had an email as mentioned above, when I then logged into my booking, the banner was there but I was emailed first

I've just done a dummy booking and it came up that there were no miles plus money tickets available?

Am I collecting miles for no reason?

Thanks

We use our air miles, I just booked for Sept and have paid £530.56 in taxes plus 80,000 air miles

We always buy extra miles every time there’s a boost on ( we bought some yesterday)

I’d call Flying Club, they are really helpful
