Upgrading on the aircraft (BA)
Whilst ttravelling Chicago - Heathrow last time, it appeared that a lady in premium economy upgraded to Business/Club class after boarding and before departure. If my hearing was correct, she handed over her credit card and was charged (I think) about £200 to upgrade.
Is this normal practice if space is available. As a regular on this route and executive club member can I take advantage of this facility any time there is free space in Club Class ?
thanks in anticipation.
