For our Platinum members, we will also do our best to confirm a Business Class seat. However, during major holidays and special events this may not be possible on some flights.

To use your seat guarantee benefit, just call our Contact Centre at least 48 hours before the flight. Our agents will review your ticket to make sure it is an eligible commercial Flex Plus fare. If it’s not, they can upgrade your ticket over the phone. If you don’t already have a ticket, they’ll create a new booking using an eligible fare.
