A colleague of mine has just used this for a flight with Arik from Lagos to New York tomorrow. You pay £2 to join and they pester the airline on your behalf for an upgrade; if the upgrade is granted you pay a fraction of the real price and they get a commission:

Looks pretty good to me!

Alternatively just fly business class everywhere because your employer is picking up the tab 8)

S'not spam, I post on here regularly! I'm just trying to give the STW massive a heads-up for next year's holiday.

True or not, my spam radar went in to overdrive when Lagos was mentioned 🙂

Of course the disadvantage of that is that you have to work when you get there 🙂

Sadly my employer has a Economy everywhere rule (unless you're the CEO) 🙁

Luckily upgrading is based on Airmile seniority, so I get an upgrade on every flight where economy is full - but only to Premium.

I used to have so many Virgin miles I got given Upper Class service in Economy - bit embarrassing being the only person in the cabin offered champagne on boarding...

It only works on 11 airlines, none of which I am likely to use. 🙁

That's why I'm unlikely to use them. 🙁
