Just have to share this here because of how unbelievably tone-deaf it is.

I have an upcoming flight with Lufthansa, booked cheapest economy class. Now I get a mail that says I am eligible for an upgrade.

Correction, I am eligible to make an offer to maybe maybe get an upgrade. When I click that link I get to the page above in the screenshot where I can now choose an amount between 90 and 300-ish EUR per passenger, per flight, to maybe upgrade to business class.

Just look at the slider, it is almost hilarious that it says poor when you leave it at the low amounts. Is any other airline doing that?

    Seems like a company rolling out a shit idea on April Fools day to have the ability to say it was a joke the next day when backlash inevitably happens.

    Expect to see this a lot more the next few years, as companies become even further soulless husks of themselves with decisions being made by AI.
