Mako,

Some airlines allow you to bid points on upgrades but not always.

Upgraded seats are almost always paid for now (cash or points) or via status benefits of top status holders.

HI Barry,

I was just wondering, when we accumulate these points can they go towards seat upgrades from coach to first/business class? if not would you happen to have any information on how we are able to get upgraded seats when traveling?

BAsed on the certificate, a strike doesn’t appear to be covered – https://www.rogersbank.com/legaldocs/en/Rogers_Bank_World_Elite_Mastercard_Certificate_of_Insurance.pdf

In Theory, WestJet would have to reimburse you for your flight, but you’d have to pay for a different flight back on a different carrier on your own.

I have a trip booked where I’m flying Flair and then Westjet coming back. But Westjet pilots might strike, so I’m worried about having to purchase an expensive one way ticket to get back home. I booked through Expedia, using my Rogers world elite Mastercard. Would trip interruption insurance apply in this case? Would they reimburse me if I had to buy another plane ticket home? My other option would be to cancel my westjet ticket now and buy another one while prices are still reasonable. But I probably wouldn’t be compensated for fees incurred for changing flights since technically they haven’t gone on strike yet.

Your credit card review would have been better if you disclosed the applicable minimum income required for these cards.

In reply to Hk. HK, I don't think Air Canada does any price matching.

Barry, thanks for the reply. Btw, I booked my flights on Monday through air Canada and today, the same itinerary is $75 cheaper. Do you know if Air Canada would refund me the difference? Or give me credit?

HK,

Unless you’re searching for one way flights, flight comparison sites will usually put you on partner airlines so all of your flights are connected. If you miss one leg of say a Star Alliance flight, the next carrier would try their best to get you on the next flight. Since it’s all one long flight, your bags get checked through for one fee or no fee depending on where you’re flying to.

I just thought of another problem for the above scenario: since Calgary to Vancouver is a domestic flight, and if they consider it to be a separate ticket from the Vancouver to HK flight, then I’d have to pay for checked baggage. It would only be free for the Vancouver to HK (international) flight. So all savings would be lost there.
