Before using a points upgrade, check two conditions: availability in the relevant Flight Reward class and compliance with the applicable reward-change rules. The cited change policy says award changes depend on availability of the type of Flight Reward booked in the relevant class, while the cited terms state that changes to Classic Flight Rewards are permitted only in accordance with clause 14.5.
These conditions do not establish that a particular upgrade is available or approved. The cited material addresses Flight Reward changes; it does not show that every form of points upgrade follows the same terms.
How to check the conditions
-
Identify the exact reward type and class. The change policy ties availability to the type of Flight Reward booked in the relevant class. A general reference to points or an upgrade does not replace checking those details.
-
Check the applicable change rule. For a Classic Flight Reward, the reader should consult clause 14.5 of the cited terms and confirm that the requested change is permitted under that clause. This guide does not reproduce or interpret the clause’s detailed requirements.
-
Treat availability and permission as separate checks. Availability in the relevant class does not by itself establish that the change complies with the reward rules. Both conditions must be supported.
What the reader must still confirm
The cited policies do not specify a complete list of eligible upgrade classes, upgrade fees, points required, deadlines, route or date availability, ticketing conditions, or refund terms. The reader must confirm any applicable details in the official materials for the exact reward and itinerary.
Before treating an upgrade as available, the reader should be able to confirm the exact reward type, relevant class, availability, and permission under the applicable reward rules. Without those confirmations, the cited policies do not support a guaranteed upgrade or a specific final outcome.
