How to upgrade my Icelandair ticket?

score:7

Accepted answer

Contact Icelandair

You can always contact Icelandair to have your ticket(s) upgraded to Saga Premium.

Bid for an upgrade

You can also bid for an upgrade to Saga Premium with Icelandair's Class Up.

On the Class Up page you can check your eligibility for Class Up, but you should also receive an e-mail regarding Class Up if you're eligible.

If you're more than one person travelling and you place a bid for e.g. $80, you'll be charged $80 x 2 = $160. If you want to split the booking and only upgrade some tickets you have to split it 10 days before departure.

You'll get a real Saga Premium ticket if you win, having lounge access, unlimited in-flight food and drinks and everything else that comes with Saga Premium.


Subjective thoughts on Class Up

I've used Class Up many times and the calculation I usually do to decide whether or not to place a bid is usually the following:

  • Do I require the of first class this flight?
  • Will be crowded?
  • Is there an Icelandair at the departing ?
  • Would I buy drinks and food at the airport and during flight?

After asking myself these questions I often do Class Up as it would cost the same as food and drinks - and I enjoy the lounges and the service.
