Upgrade for a supplement, at your desired price or with miles

With Discover Airlines, you can upgrade your flight until just before departure. Our Premium Economy Class and Business Class offer extra comfort, first-class service, and they are definitely worth an upgrade.

Upgrades can be added to your booking for a supplement, at your desired price or with miles. You can upgrade from Economy Class to Business Class on your short-haul flight. On long-haul flights, you have the option of upgrading from Economy Class to Premium Economy or Business Class to Business Class, as well as from Premium Economy to Business Class.

Upgrade for a supplement.

You can easily add an upgrade to your booking in advance by paying a supplement. Depending on availability, you may still be able to upgrade during online check-in, at the airport or once on board.

The system automatically checks which of your flights are eligible for an upgrade. Click the “Upgrade” link in your booking, confirm your selection for the flight or flights on which you want an upgrade, and then enter your payment details. You will receive a booking confirmation to the email address you provided.
