Hmm... economy may be near full, but business class definitely isn't. I was offered an upgrade to business for my trip this week-end for AU$130 on the way there and NZ$130 on the way back. My economy fare was a cheap $320 return fare, so all up I'm paying about $550 return in business.

Please refrain from quoting the whole post above in your post, it is not necessary - mod

Hardly surprising on such a short trip. The cheap upgrade is a good idea to extract some more money out of people, BA offer cheap, at the check-in upgrades on most of their European flights.

Dan, 130 one way upgrade is an absolutely steal. You'll find it is worth every cents, I believe it will include Limo service too? What dates are you travelling? On my recent flight over Easter with Emirates, we record a zero load in First, 30% in Business (empty bar at the back) and 90% in Economy.

The upgrade specifically excluded the limo service. But its still a great deal anyway. I'm travelling this week-end... currently in NZ.

Business was probably less than 50% full.
