Learn about the cabins that you can access with your Upgrade:

Premium Business

Relax in seats that recline and turn into flat beds. Enjoy the warmest onboard service and savour our gourmet menu created by famous chefs, together with wines selected by the most awarded sommelier in South America.

Premium Economy

Enjoy your regional flights. In this exclusive cabin offering preferential service, you’ll find all the space and comfort you need for your trip. We designed this class specifically in response to what passengers traveling on business most value on short-haul flights: the opportunity to maximize their time and enjoy excellent service.

New! 

We are now presenting our new model to apply for a Cabin Upgrade starting August 22, 2023, which will be much simpler and easier to use.

We are replacing “Courtesy Coupons” with “Courtesy Segments”

We will be changing from “Upgrade Coupons” to “Courtesy Segments”. In this way, to apply for a Cabin Upgrade, you will no longer need to calculate how many coupons you will need for each trip. 

How does it work?

With this new Cabin Upgrade system, you will only need one Courtesy Segments, to apply on each flight. As with the previous model, each elite category has different numbers of segments. 

Check out this example of the new way to apply for the Upgrade:

Depending on your Elite category, you will have a number of Courtesy Segments to apply for an upgrade on flights within South America and another number of separate Courtesy Segments to apply for an upgrade on flights outside of South America. The use of one of these does not affect or negate the use of the other.

How to apply?

In order to apply for a new Cabin Upgrade, you will have to do so, as you have done up until now, 48 hours before the flight, on our website.

Then, on the application page you will be able to review the seats available in the business class cabin, your place on the list and the category, date and time for those who have applied, so that you can know in advance the probability of obtaining an upgrade.
