Kingfisher First Upgrade vouchers


  • Upgrades against Vouchers are permitted only on flights operated and marketed by Kingfisher Airlines, for an Upgrade from Kingfisher Class to Kingfisher First. To clarify, this will only be available on a flight which offers both Kingfisher Class and Kingfisher First class of service.
  • Upgrade Vouchers are valid for a period of 2 years from the date of issue printed on the face of the Voucher. The validity of the Voucher will not be extended under any circumstances.
  • To get an Upgrade on domestic sectors, members must contact the Kingfisher Airlines Reservations Office and book their Upgrades by quoting their Upgrade Voucher numbers no later than 6 hours before departure. At this time, the Upgrade will be confirmed to the member immediately, if available.
  • For an Upgrade on international sectors, members must contact any Kingfisher Airlines Reservations Office and book their Upgrade by quoting the Upgrade Voucher number(s) no later than 48 hours prior to departure of their flight. At this time, the Upgrade will be confirmed to the member immediately, if available.
  • The Voucher number must be presented at the time of making the request and the Voucher, in original, must be handed over at the time of check-in.  The Upgrade will not be honoured if the physical Voucher is not presented at the time of check-in.
  • Guests must arrive at the airport a minimum of 45 minutes prior to departure for flights within India and 3 hours prior to departure for international flights. They can check-in directly at the Kingfisher First check-in counter by presenting the required Upgrade Voucher(s).
  • Upgrade Vouchers can be used only on revenue bookings that are ticketed before listing for the Upgrade.
  • Usage of the Upgrade Voucher on flights operated by Kingfisher Airlines is based on our “Travelled Distance” concept. The travelled distance is equal to Ticketed Point Mileage between two sectors. 
  • The number of Upgrade Vouchers required for a one-way Upgrade, on the basis of travelled distance, is as below:
 
 


    Kingfisher Class to Kingfisher First:

  • Less than 1500 miles – 1 Voucher
  • Between 1501 and 2000 miles – 2 Vouchers
  • Between 2001 and 3500 miles – 3 Vouchers
  • Between 3500 and 7000 miles – 4 Vouchers
  • Between 7000 and 10000 miles – 5 Vouchers
  • Over 10000 miles – 6 Vouchers
 
 
  • Upgrade to Kingfisher First on domestic sectors and international sectors cannot be used on tickets issued under fare classes H/N/T/G/U/O/X/R.
  • King Club members may request for Upgrades when travelling on any purchased, published fare on eligible Kingfisher Airlines flights.
  • Listing for an Upgrade is mandatory. King Club members, who have not listed themselves for an Upgrade, may not be accommodated even though seats may be available in Kingfisher First at the time of departure.
  • Use of Upgrade Vouchers is not subject to any blackout periods. It is however subject to class and capacity control.
  • The Upgrade is valid on a single one-way, direct, nonstop Kingfisher Airlines operated flight only. In case of through flight with en-route stops, the Upgrade will only be offered if the next class of service seating can be confirmed for all segments of the flight, at the time of offering the Upgrade. If the through flight with en-route stops involves different flight numbers, then multiple Vouchers will be required.
  • The Upgrade Voucher is not refundable, exchangeable or extendable and has no cash value. 
  • Lost or stolen Vouchers will not be replaced.
  • Upgrade Vouchers can be transferred to anyone by the King Club member, by endorsing the same on the face of the Voucher. 
  • The Voucher will be deemed fully used upon surrender and will not be honoured retroactively.
  • King Club members will be awarded a flight count and will earn King Miles as per the multi-level mileage earning system for the actual booked class only and not for the class flown.
  • Upgrades under this offer are applicable only on domestic and international Kingfisher Airlines operated and marketed flights and not on code share flights or Partner Airlines.
  • Changes to the Upgrade request would require the member to cancel the Upgrade and request for a fresh Upgrade on the rebooked and ticketed itinerary.  The Upgrade will be offered subject to availability of Kingfisher First seats, on the revised flight.  Any differences in the fare or rebooking charges as applicable would be payable by the member.
  • In case the member wishes to cancel the entire ticket, he/she would be required to follow the normal cancellation procedures and pay the normal cancellation charges.
  • If the member wishes to cancel just the Upgrade listing, he will have to get the full ticket cancelled at a Kingfisher Airlines ticketing office. A new ticket will have to be issued for travel in Kingfisher Class. Any cancellation charges and difference in fares would be applicable as per fare rules.
  • Any other Vouchers issued by Kingfisher Airlines for complimentary Upgrades will be governed by the Terms and Conditions printed on their reverse.
  • The Upgrade will be valid only on production of the correct original Voucher(s) at airport check-in.
  • If any Upgrade Voucher is lost, the Kingfisher Airlines Call Centre must be informed immediately to deactivate the same.
  • In case of a through flight or flights with en-route stops, the Upgrade will only be offered on both sectors of the journey, provided a seat on the higher class of service is available for both segments at the time of requesting the Upgrade.
  • In cases of connecting flights where there is a change of aircraft, one Voucher will be permitted for use on one sector only. E.g. For travel on DEL-BOM-IXE, one Upgrade Voucher will be used on the DEL-BOM sector and a separate Voucher will be used for the BOM-IXE sector.
  • King Miles will be credited for the booked class of travel and not the flown class of travel.
  • Kingfisher Airlines reserves the right to change, alter and modify any of the terms and conditions at any point without assigning any reasons and without prior notice to the Guests. In that case, Kingfisher Airlines shall not be liable to any Guest for any change, alteration and modification in the Terms & Conditions.
  • These Terms & Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Indian Laws. Further, it is irrevocably and unconditionally agreed that the Courts of Mumbai shall have exclusive jurisdiction to entertain any proceedings in relation to any disputes in any way relating to or concerning this offer or any rights, duties, obligations or liabilities of Kingfisher Airlines arising hereunder.
