Hey willvill,
Apparently this also applies to the 4 complimentary upgrades awarded to platinums. It would seem the the complimentary upgrades are not entirely complimentary since the 5th of April. Apparently sometime in Jan or Feb the $35 service fee information was buried in an email update? I was advised because you are making a change to a flight booking you incur this service fee, although VA do not allow any other method of using these comp upgrades other than through their contact centre.
