I'm booked on Route 66 next October and I'm wondering if I should book the flight upgrades. Are they value for money and what do you get included in the upgrade. I've only ever done short haul before where an upgrade has not been available.

I believe it's an 8 hour flight to Chicago and an 10 hour flight back so any advice on upgrades will be helpful to me.

Thanks

Paul.

To be honest I have checked out upgrades for a USA tour and also NZ tour and the amount of money that was required was just far to much for me. I would rather have the money for spending when I get there. It is of course up to you, by all means get a price and then really think about it.

Usually you get more leg room and seat room and better food and drink that sort of thing, free head phones? perhaps priority booking in and maybe more weight allowence. Have a look online what the benifits are.

Good Luck

I called Just You for a rough price. It's more than I expected but not out of my price range. Still not decided what to do although the nice lady at Just You said she would call me back in a few weeks with more details of the price and stuff.

I've just come back from Turkey on a delayed night flight and couldn't get to sleep at all. At least if I upgrade you can get the seat at a better angle to sleep and the extra room would be good.

There's a long time to go yet so no rush to book the upgrade yet. Would still like to hear from anyone who has had an upgrade though.

Thanks

Hi Paul

I am going on this trip in May and I have upgraded my flight. It is expensive but when I looked on B.A. website it was three times as much for one way. I don't travel long haul well, so for me it was necessary to upgrade, in the hope that I will arrive refreshed rather than jet lagged for days. You do get more leg room and the seat recline more. Hope this help in your decision.

Kind Regards

The exact cost for next October flight upgrades isn't out yet but Just You will contact me as soon as they know. How much are your flight upgrades? And how much are they on the BA website?

Thanks
