Frequently asked
Does Luxair offer upgrades?
Luxair offers an upgrade program: eligible passengers can place a bid to upgrade to a premium cabin (such as Premium Economy or Business), and are only charged if the bid is accepted. Availability depends on fare/cabin type, route, and timing.
What upgrade options does Luxair offer?
Luxair offers Bid Upgrade, Seat Blocker (Empty Seat).
How does Luxair's bid (offer) upgrade work?
You name an amount — within a range shown for your booking — to move up to a higher cabin. It's an offer, not a fixed price: you're only charged if Luxair accepts it. If your offer isn't accepted you pay nothing and keep your original seat.
How do I check if my Luxair booking can be upgraded?
Check your specific booking with Upgrade Agent: enter your booking reference and last name and you'll see the upgrade options and price ranges available on your flights — you don't need to dig through Luxair's website. Visit Luxair's official upgrade page and enter your booking reference and last name to see available upgrade offers: https://www.luxair.lu/en/offers/luxair-smart-upgrade
Who is eligible for a Luxair upgrade?
Eligibility depends on your fare type, route, and how close to departure you are — not every fare or flight qualifies, and offers usually open within a window before departure. The reliable way to know is to check your specific booking rather than assume.
When am I charged for a Luxair upgrade?
Only if your offer is accepted. With bid upgrades the charge happens when the upgrade is confirmed — typically in the days before departure. If your offer isn't accepted, there's no charge.
How will I know if my Luxair upgrade offer was accepted?
Luxair notifies you — usually by email — if your offer is accepted, typically shortly before departure. Until then your original booking stands, and you can review your offer's status where you submitted it.
Can I change or cancel my Luxair upgrade offer?
A pending offer can usually be changed or cancelled any time before it's accepted, from the page where you submitted it. Once an offer is accepted and charged, the upgrade is confirmed.
How much does a Luxair upgrade cost?
There's no fixed price — you offer within a range shown for your booking, which varies by route, cabin, and demand. You choose where in that range to bid; higher offers can have a better chance of being accepted, though the exact acceptance formula isn't published.
Can I keep the seat next to me empty on Luxair?
Luxair offers an empty-seat option — you can offer to keep the adjacent seat (or seats) free for more space, subject to availability. As with bid upgrades, you're only charged if the request is granted.
Can I use Miles & More points or miles for a Luxair upgrade?
Luxair's loyalty program is Miles & More. Depending on the route and the offer shown on your booking, upgrades may be payable with points/miles as well as cash — the options available appear when you check your specific booking.
Can I change or cancel my Luxair upgrade bid after submitting it?
Yes — a Luxair upgrade bid can be changed or cancelled any time until Luxair makes its decision. Once a bid is accepted it's final and your card is charged. To update or withdraw it, use Luxair's Manage My Booking / offer page, or check your booking here (booking ••••••e + last name) and I can help you modify or cancel it.
When is my card charged for a Luxair upgrade bid?
Only if your bid is accepted. Submitting a Luxair upgrade bid authorizes your card for the bid amount, but nothing is charged unless Luxair accepts it — if the bid is declined or expires, the authorization is released and you pay nothing, keeping your original cabin. If it's accepted, the card you provided is charged the amount you offered and your upgrade is confirmed.
When will I find out if my Luxair upgrade bid was accepted?
Luxair decides upgrade bids before your flight — often close to departure, once the operator knows how much cabin space is left. You'll be notified by email either way at the address on your offer. You don't need to keep checking, but you can see your bid's current status any time by checking your booking here (booking ••••••e + last name) or on Luxair's Manage My Booking page.
