ECONOMY class customers on Fiji Airways international flights can now bid for upgrades to business class using the newly introduced Bula Bid initiative.
A statement from the national airline yesterday said passengers booked on Fiji Airways international flights could bid for an upgrade between seven days and 24 hours before their scheduled flight departure.
It said bids were made at www.bulabid.com using the world-renowned Upgrade Now auction system, with successful bidders being notified through a confirmation email 24 hours before the flight. Unsuccessful bidders will not have their credit cards charged.
Fiji Airways managing director and CEO Andre Viljoen said: “This new product is designed to give our economy class guests the chance to enjoy our renowned business class experience.
“Interest among guests for Bula Bid has been extremely high during the soft-launch period, and we are delighted to roll it out formally now across our international networks.
“The successful bids are dependent on a number of factors including seat availability and the number and amount of offers for the flight.
“Naturally, the bids are subject to terms and conditions, and a number of back-end factors managed by the team at Fiji Airways,” he said.
