surcharge increases?
January 9th, 2009I have a business class reward, and for a couple of segments only economy reward seats were available. I was told to call in to check if business seats had opened up. Thanks to KVS^ I was able to see that my MUC-LHR segment was now available in business. I called the Aeroplan Elite desk, and was told that to change the seat assignment (from economy to business on a business award) I would have to pay the new taxes and fuel surcharges that had come into effect since my ticket was issued.
How can a seat change cause this?
Calling again though to avoid the charge is even better.
We are stopping in London. However, when I "purchased" the award ticket, I was told I was already paying the premium class surcharge, as the award ticket was business, regardless of the actual seat assignments.
I also like my even better solution:cool:

If you are stopping in London then it could be valid. If you were originally in economy you wouldn't be paying the premium class surcharge or whatever you want to call the tax they charge for business class passengers. Charging new fuel surcharges is bogus though if you ask me.

I just did this, and the seat was switched to business without any charge.
That doesn't change the fact that the first agent did try to charge me for the change, at which point I said it wasn't worth it for such a short flight.
