I went onto AIR's website just as an ordinary shareholder Joe Bloggs and picked a random day next month to fly to Vancouver on 23 January and come back a week later.
One way prices were $849 economy, $2204 premium economy and $5804 business.
As a part owner of the airline I would have to ante up $1,355 extra to upgrade from economy to premium economy, (just 220 airpoints if I was elite status), or $3,600 of my cold hard cash to upgrade from premium economy to business (480 airpoints I probably got for nothing if I was elite status).
Why the heck are people complaining when they probably have these airpoints for nothing and I would have to pay mega bucks to upgrade a class despite actually owning part of the airline ?
Are Elite status flyers actually the owners of the airline ? How on earth could anyone complain the upgrade airpoints prices are unreasonable ?
Honestly...cry me a river....:rolleyes:
