Fixed-Price Upgrade

With Fixed Price Upgrade , you can improve your travel experience easily and instantly.

After purchasing an Economy or Premium Economy ticket, you have the option to upgrade to a higher class  by paying a fixed amount, if available for your flight.

The upgrade price varies based on the fare of the ticket purchased and the target class available at the time of request.

Travel with more comfort

By choosing the Fixed-Price Upgrade, you can enjoy the services and amenities of a higher class.

The upgrade includes: 

  • Hand baggage allowance for the higher class 
  • Priority airport services, such as priority check-in and boarding, where available 
  • Lounge access at selected airports, for upgrades to Business

The following remain unchanged according to the original booking:

  • Checked baggage, which remains as per the purchased ticket 
  • Mileage accrual, calculated based on the original fare class 
  • Ticket conditions (changes, refunds, and restrictions), which remain those of the purchased fare

Fixed-Price Upgrade is available on ITA Airways-operated flights with an AZ flight number.

It can be purchased for Economy and Premium Economy tickets on flights: 

  • domestic flights
  • European
  • intercontinental

If available, the upgrade can be selected for each individual leg of the trip.
