Just have to share this here because of how unbelievably tone-deaf it is.
I have an upcoming flight with Lufthansa, booked cheapest economy class. Now I get a mail that says I am eligible for an upgrade.
Correction, I am eligible to make an offer to maybe maybe get an upgrade. When I click that link I get to the page above in the screenshot where I can now choose an amount between 90 and 300-ish EUR per passenger, per flight, to maybe upgrade to business class.
Just look at the slider, it is almost hilarious that it says poor when you leave it at the low amounts. Is any other airline doing that?
If you don’t succeed then you presumably won’t pay.
I still hate it though. The “colour coding” of the offer dial too, encouraging you to make an overpriced offer in the “green” range.
Get fucked. I hate this blind bidding nonsense. Offer me a price upfront, and I’ll tell you if I want it or not.
