Upgrade with miles or by paying a supplement up until shortly before departure

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 an additional charge 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.
