Booked award economy tickets on Iberia - anyone know if it’s possible to upgrade to business and if so best guess at cost in points or $? (Nyc to Mad)

If there’s business award space then I don’t see why you couldn’t cover the point/tax differential.

Not with cash, you would need to pay the points difference.

You may be able to bid for an upgrade just before departure but best approach is to rebook a business class ticket. If you used BA AVIOS points, business class is 60K points each way vs economy at 20K each way for that route. Using AA miles, awards are 57.5K miles each way for business class vs 30K for economy.

Iberia is 34k/50k Avios (offpeak/peak) for distances between 3k-4k miles in business class. Also BA charges massive fuel surcharges for Iberia awards.

Hi everyone,
I gave interview for EY for performance test engineer and scored good points in technical round. Now my HR discussion is pending since last 15 days. Any idea how long will it take to get this done along with the offer letter as today 22 nd July is my last working day in current company. Should i wait for the offer letter or join other company from which I am holding offer letter right now?

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

I have 65k miles and I could only pay for a one-way ticket from PHX-JFK. I had to book 1 leg with miles and the 1 with cash, but booking the other leg in cash was about 80% of the round trip in cash.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂
