Discover Airlines: Guests can bid for upgrades

• Upgrades to a higher travel class now possible by bidding
• Guests set their desired price within a specified range
• Price proposals can be submitted online up to 60 hours before departure

Since the end of January, Discover Airlines guests have been able to bid for an upgrade to a higher travel class themselves before their flight. The leisure airline is thus adopting the upgrade model already familiar to many travelers from Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and Edelweiss, and is expanding the service and booking experience with another flexible option.

Upgrades are available on all flights where there are still seats available in the higher travel class: on short-haul flights from Economy to Business Class, and on long-haul flights from Economy to Premium Economy or Business Class, or from Premium Economy to Business Class.

Up to 60 hours before departure, travelers can check whether upgrades are available for their flight in the “Upgrades” section of the Discover Airlines website. Passengers who have consented to email communication during the booking process will also receive a notification if upgrades are available.

If an upgrade is possible, travelers can set their desired price within a specified price range. Discover Airlines will inform passengers whether their bid has been accepted at least 48 hours before the scheduled departure.
