Asiana’s Free Upgrade Deal Continues

The business travelers best friend…

Asiana continues offering a FREE upgrade from full-coach to Business and from full-Business to First Class—confirmed at ticketing on a space-available basis. The offer is only available on flights originating in the US—otherwise there are no restrictions, no blackouts and no minimum/maximum stay requirement. (Keep in mind, some fares may be lower via the Amex Platinum 2-for-1 offer for travelers flying in pairs.) The airline is a Star Alliance member and this upgrade nets mileage and elite credit with United and friends.

What makes this offer so good is not necessarily the actual savings. It’s more that even if your company’s travel policy limits you to one class of service, with this program you can jump a class for the same fare while still adhering to the company policy.

The airline’s full-coach and Business Class fares vary widely between cities that are the same distance apart. Here are the lowest fares we found.
