Geneva Economy Light fares

I was looking at booking some flights to London, and I can see that there is the new fare 'Geneva Economy Light', which is hand-baggage only.


I see that it is possible to later add a bag by upgrading in advance to Geneva Economy flex. What I can't quite get to the bottom of is whether you pay the difference in the price of the two tickets on that day (it seems to be 50 chf difference at the moment for example), or whether it is the difference in what I paid at the time of booking and the price on the day of flying, which can be enormous.


I tried calling Swiss customer support but I'm not sure they understood my query, but seemed to hint at the latter, which means that adding a bag could add hundred's of francs to the price Surprised


I just wondered if anyone has used these fares yet and upgraded at a later date?

It's definitely the latter, more expensive option.


You can re-use this answer for any question about airline fines and charges.

That would be a shame.....often I travel hand luggage only but on occasion would like to take a case for any shopping needs. I don't mind paying a bit extra for this (like with Easyjet), but if it can cost hundreds of francs its not worth it.
