When is Melbourne likely to get a 7 day a week A380 service again?

Popular night for returning business travelers won’t help your chances.

Success MEL-SYD evening flight upgrade at T-69. Wouldn’t normally waste points on upgrading domestic but have a packed day that squeezing in an onboard meal will help. Hopefully don’t regret it.

On one booking they will either upgrade all or none. Mid week would improve your chances. What day of week?

And now he got a free upgrade on the return on QF68. I did the same both ways last week and it cost me 150k points. Seems Qantas is getting quite generous with comping WP upgrades.

Today my WP colleague got the same QF67 Y->J upgrade at check in for free without even asking. J cabin was really empty.

And success on the return QF-68 BLR-SYD at T-27 Was getting nervous as cabin is pretty full with only 2 seats remaining. Bangalore was a fun trip.

Successful Y -> J upgrade at T-60 on QF67 SYD-BLR as a WP. First time to India and was wondering how I would go with the upgrade given no PE. Looks like quite bit of availability with 9 J seats still not selected. Economy also looked quite open with lots of empty rows of 4 before I was...

Failed J, but Y+ success at T-20 for QF94 LAX-MEL as a WP Was looking bleak even though A380 as I hadn’t realized it is the end of school holidays.

Eureka, finally a successful Y to J MEL-LAX on QF93 at T-60 as a WP A380 capacity makes the difference

Mrs Hockey Monkey also recently reached WP so sneaking in a MEL-PER QF9 trip with QF F lounge access for 4 before it goes away mid July. 2 x Classic Award Upgrade Y to J 2 x Revenue fare Upgrade Y to J Success @ T-60

That could get awkward :)

You could use it on QF9 MEL-PER as a domestic passenger as it departs from the international terminal. Opportunity ends in July though. https://www.executivetraveller.com/news/qantas-melbourne-perth-london-787

Do you remember how you requested the upgrade? Was it potentially via QBR?

I understood sale PE would have priority over flex Y

I completely missed this change in terms and applied for the Signature card after only 12 months and then was wondering why the bonus points didn’t come through. Pleaded for mercy with NAB and as a good will gesture they transferred 120k points (it was only supposed to be 90k with a further 30k...

Upgrade gods came through at T-2.5 QF2 Y > J

Shame it requires flying United ;) My SG colleague who tends to stay over the weekend is having much more success on a Sunday or Monday return. Misses all the Aussie business travellers I guess

Most of my travel is during US peak times Eg Sunday from MEL, Thursday or Friday return. PE success very high (85%), just J remains elusive, hopefully improving once the A380 makes a more regular appearance. QF2 is quite empty in J so hopefully they come to the party. Will plead my case at...

Missed flight due to late arrival into LHR. Now back in the upgrade queue for QF2
