Your upgrade to Business Class on short-haul flights
An upgrade to Business Class offers tangible added value: more space thanks to the middle seat remaining unoccupied, a warm meal on board and first-class service for an even more pleasant journey.
A variety of Business Class benefits
- Lounge access
- Check-in or baggage check-in at the Business Class check-in counter
- The use of Priority Lanes at security control, if available at the airport
- Priority boarding via a passenger bridge
- A seat in the front rows of the aircraft
- More freedom and privacy as the middle seat always remains unoccupied
- A full meal served on high-quality porcelain
- A selection of newspapers and magazines (as an eJournal)
- Higher or equivalent mileage credit (since individual Economy or Premium Economy booking classes may have the same number of miles as those of lower-priced Premium Economy Class or Business Class booking classes)
Please note that the fare conditions of your original ticket — i.e., the rules for rebooking, refunds and baggage — will remain unchanged. The free baggage allowance will continue to be based on the Economy fare originally booked. You can find the relevant information on your passenger receipt.
If your original ticket included paid additional services that are already included in the new travel class, no refund will be issued (excluding paid advance seat reservations).
The prices for an upgrade to Business Class depend on the route, booking class and flight duration.
- Availability in Business Class
- Confirmed reservation (no waiting list bookings)
- A ticket that has already been issued
- Flights operated by Discover Airlines
- Upgrades via discover-airlines.com are only available for all travelers in one booking. If you would like to purchase an upgrade only for select travelers in one booking, please contact our Service Center.
- Upgrades must be booked within a fixed period of time, no later than 24 hours prior to departure. You can book as early as 360 days before departure. Deadlines vary by destination — availability for your flight is visible after entering the booking code.
An upgrade is not possible in the following cases:
- On flights for which check-in has been completed
- On trips for which paid additional services have already been booked, but no payment has been made and corresponding service documents have not been issued
- On trips for which additional services have already been booked that exclude an upgrade, e.g., when taking a small animal into the aircraft cabin
