Yes! You can use your airline loyalty points to upgrade your flight, but this needs to be arranged directly with the airline's loyalty program.
How to upgrade with loyalty points:
- Contact your airline's loyalty program directly (not Sunshine)
- Provide your flight booking reference
- Their team will check upgrade availability
- They'll guide you through the points redemption process
Where to find your airline loyalty program contact details: 📞
- Log into your airline loyalty account
- Visit your airline's website and look for their frequent flyer or loyalty program section
- Check your airline's app
- Look for customer service contact options in your loyalty account
Common airline loyalty programs:

Important to know: ℹ️

Can On the Beach help with this? 🤔
Unfortunately, we can't process loyalty point upgrades or changes on your behalf - these must be handled directly with the airline's loyalty program. This is because:
- Loyalty points are managed by the airline, not travel agents
- Each airline has different policies and availability
- Upgrades need to be processed through their loyalty systems
