š„ Why you should always bid on business class
Itās no joke that business-class seats are highly coveted. But sometimes, they cost $8,000 a piece, or thereās just no award availability on a given route. š«
As you move through the stages of grief, you finally reach acceptance and select your basic-ass economy seat for your upcoming, overnight, 12-hour flight (and by you, I mean me⦠this was my flight).
However, because I was flying from Hong Kong (HKG) to Vancouver (YVR) with Air Canada, I received this beautiful email about a week before my scheduled flight:

Interesting⦠š¤
Some airlines offer an upgrade bidding process where you can use points or cash (depending on the airline) to bid for the chance to make your life a whole lot better.
Air Canada is one airline that features this, but other notable airlines have their own versions:
Virgin Atlantic
Lufthansa
Singapore Airlines
Hawaiian Airlines
Etihad
Aer Lingus
I highlight this because the number of promo and other miscellaneous emails I get from airlines often leads me to do a quick swipe into my trash without giving them a second glance ā so you could miss out on being alerted to the chance to bid to upgrade!
My flight's starting bid was just $560 Canadian dollars, so about $394 USD.
Wut. š¤Æ
For a twelve-and-a-half-hour flight in Air Canadaās stellar business class?? No freaking way.
I likely wouldnāt get it for that low, but what the heck ā Iām going to bid the absolute bare minimum and just let it play out.
I put this potential charge on The Platinum CardĀ® from American Express so Iād at least earn around 2,000 Membership Rewards points thanks to its 5x earning rate on direct flight purchases.
And lo and behold, a few days later, I received the notification that my bid had been accepted, and I was going to be flying home (and actually sleeping!) in style.
My seat, yāall. š

This is all to say that if youāre flying an airline that offers this perk, you should:
Always check your emails, and donāt ignore what looks like a last-minute promo email from the airline.
Always bid for business class ā you might just get a premium seat for super cheap!
