Marisa Garcia SAS is making it easier for customers to fly Business by offering a chance to bid on a flight upgrade.
Customers set the value of their bid for flights to Asia, U.S., Europe, and within the Nordic region, and compete against fellow passengers for the upgrade slot. Winners can even pay for their upgrade on domestic and European flights with EuroBonus points.

Customers can also amend or retract bids up to 48 hours before the flight.
