Korean Airline (KOA) Complaint - Using Korean Air air miles - using air miles for upgrade
using air miles for upgrade - Complaint
Well if this is not a typical way to cheat the air travler I dont know what is. I take trips to Korea on a regular basis and use my air miles for upgrades and just as I finally get enough air miles to get another round trip upgrade, I recieve a Email from Korea Air that they are now going to double the required air miles for a upgrade. And when I rush to buy my ticket the price I was quoted went up $100 when I informed them I was using my mileage. This increase was never added before and now I guess not only do I have to get double my miles for an upgrade now I have to pay an extra $100 to use them. I can see that I am going to have to look for a new airline for my trips to Korea.

Most airlines restrict certain coach fares (super-discounted) from upgrades. This is what seems to have happened here, its not that they are adding a $100 fee, they simply restricted the fare category you were going to buy from an upgrade. Sometimes you'll have to pay more to upgrade using miles, and sometimes its the same fare.
