How it works
Choose to upgrade to either Premium or Business. Then enter your bid and payment details. If your bid isn’t accepted, you’ll keep your original seat and you won’t pay anything.
To boost your chances of securing an upgrade on flights to North America and Asia, you can participate in live bidding on selected flights, starting 25 hours before departure. Place your bid, track your ranking, view the highest bid and raise your bid anytime – right up until 6 hours before your flight departs.
If you get your upgrade, we’ll charge your credit card/debit points from your EuroBonus account and you’ll get an upgraded boarding pass at check-in.
We’ll email you to let you know if your upgrade bid was accepted or not between 25 and 6 hours before departure. Sometimes, it may also be possible to bid again. But don’t worry, we’ll let you know if you’re eligible to place another bid.
Good to know
Upgrade your trip by placing a bid when you book or under My trips up to 6 hours before departure on flights to and from North America and Asia and up to 25 hours before departure on flights within Europe.
On flights to North America and Asia, you can place multiple bids. This means that if you don’t get your Business upgrade, you’ll still have a chance to be upgraded to Premium.
If you’re a EuroBonus Diamond, Gold or Silver member, you’ll have an even greater chance of getting your upgrade.

Airport upgrades are only available when there is room in the travel class you’d like to upgrade to.
Valid for flights to/from Asia and North America.
You can pay for an airport upgrade with credit card or EuroBonus points. You can’t earn EuroBonus points on airport upgrades.
