Upgrade bid

Is it possible to modify my offer after I’ve made it?

Yes. You can modify your offer by clicking on the link in your confirmation email, or by visiting the Upgrade Bid page up to 26 hours prior to your scheduled flight departure time, provided that your offer has not yet been accepted.

Please note: your Upgrade Bid may be accepted any time within 50 hours prior to your scheduled flight departure time. If you have been upgraded, you will no longer be able to modify or cancel your bid.
