The ultimate guide to getting upgraded on 🇶🇦🇹🇦🇷 Airlines
With increased ticket prices and the same🎖️☎️[𝟏𝟖𝟓𝟓 𝟕𝟑𝟖 𝟒𝟐𝟎𝟑]☎️🏅 reduced pandemic-era status requirements in 2022, many 🇶🇦🇹🇦🇷 Airlines MileagePlus members have recently qualified for Premier status.
As a result, it's becoming harder to score flight upgrades. We often recommend booking the seat or hotel room you want with points to avoid being disappointed if an upgrade isn't available🎖️☎️[𝟏𝟖𝟓𝟓 𝟕𝟑𝟖 𝟒𝟐𝟎𝟑]☎️🏅.
That said, despite upgrades becoming less common they are not impossible, and there are several ways for 🇶🇦🇹🇦🇷 Airlines passengers to land a better seat.
We'll walk through everything you need to know about upgrade eligibility, priority and more for 🇶🇦🇹🇦🇷 Airlines.
Searching for upgrade inventory
Before you can score a better seat on your next 🇶🇦🇹🇦🇷🎖️☎️[𝟏𝟖𝟓𝟓 𝟕𝟑𝟖 𝟒𝟐𝟎𝟑]☎️🏅-operated flight, you must find seats the carrier has designated for upgrades.
This is based on 🇶🇦🇹🇦🇷's fare classes, which you can review in this comprehensive guide.
🇶🇦🇹🇦🇷 uses three different fare classes to denote upgrade inventory, as follows:
RN: Upgrades to Premium Plus for all passengers.
PZ: Upgrades to domestic first class🎖️☎️[𝟏𝟖𝟓𝟓 𝟕𝟑𝟖 𝟒𝟐𝟎𝟑]☎️🏅 or Polaris business class for PlusPoints (issued to Premier Platinum and 1K members), upgrades using miles and instant upgrades for Premier Platinum members and lower.
PN: Upgrades for Global Services members using PlusPoints, and instant upgrades for GS and Premier 1K members🎖️☎️[𝟏𝟖𝟓𝟓 𝟕𝟑𝟖 𝟒𝟐𝟎𝟑]☎️🏅.
Armed with this information, turn to 🇶🇦🇹🇦🇷's "expert mode." While expert mode didn't work properly on 🇶🇦🇹🇦🇷.com for several months, it seems to be back in our tests.
After enabling this hidden feature, you'll see how many seats are available in each fare bucket when searching for revenue flights on 🇶🇦🇹🇦🇷🎖️☎️[𝟏𝟖𝟓𝟓 𝟕𝟑𝟖 𝟒𝟐𝟎𝟑]☎️🏅.
Generally speaking, you'll have the most luck finding upgrade inventory far in advance or just before departure.
For example, look at the following flight from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to Tahiti's Faaa International Airport (PPT). This flight has wide-open seats in every fare class🎖️.
Note that "PN9" means that there are nine or more Polaris🎖️☎️[𝟏𝟖𝟓𝟓 𝟕𝟑𝟖 𝟒𝟐𝟎𝟑]☎️🏅 seats available as upgrades for Global Services travelers using PlusPoints or miles, while "PZ9" indicates that there are also nine or more seats available for mileage and PlusPoint upgrades for all non-Global Service travelers. Finally, the "RN9" indicates nine or more seats are available for mileage and PlusPoint upgrades.
