Spender Nui Posted September 15, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Can this be done using miles or points from hotels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imsulin Posted September 15, 2010 #2 Share Posted September 15, 2010 No. Can only be used if you book your air independently. When you book "cruise air", you are booking "bulk air", which is a whole different thing, unless you pay for "custom" air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatam Posted September 15, 2010 #3 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Can this be done using miles or points from hotels? Ain't going to happen. As posted previously, the tickets from cruise air are consolidator class tickets-99% non upgradeable. You may have a special exception but I doubt it.

alidor Posted September 16, 2010 #4 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Try calling the airline involved and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatam Posted September 16, 2010 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Try calling the airline involved and ask. You know what they are going to say-XXX dollars over and above the cruise line air price. But as you also realize, VERY few of the cruise line ticket are upgradable. And SPECIFICALLY NOT upgradable with HOTEL points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alidor Posted September 16, 2010 #6 Share Posted September 16, 2010 It wouldn't hurt the poster to just call and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongerob Posted September 16, 2010 #7 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Highly unlikely, for the reasons listed. The only way you can use miles is to use your cruise line's Customized Air option, which basically means that you might as well just book your flights on your own because you will be paying market price anyway.

Rare Keith1010 Posted September 16, 2010 #8 Share Posted September 16, 2010 As most people have said you won't be able to upgrade. This is the reality of the ticket that has been purchased. You can call the airline if you like but the answer will be the same as you have been told already. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

personnext Posted September 20, 2010 #10 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Here's the 1% exception: All American Airlines fares to Europe except military fares can be upgraded. There are no upgrade restrictions on American Airlines consolidator fares except to Latin America. To upgrade it is 25,000 AAdvantage miles and a $350 copay each way.
