Elite Airpoints Dollar™ upgrades
Your upgrade request can be confirmed up to 355 days in advance of your flight, if the upgrade booking class is available. Upgrades are subject to availability and high load factors may prevent us from confirming your upgrade in advance. When this happens, Elite upgrade requests are prioritised at the airport for any remaining seats.
If your upgrade request isn't confirmed, your Airpoints Dollars will be returned back to your Airpoints account.
Please note: Airpoints upgrades are not guaranteed. Due to operational requirements, we may need to make changes which could result in a change to your seat number or cabin, even if you hold a confirmed upgrade.
For more information on destinations please see the Zone Key below.
