After 15 long haul attempts post COVID, finally got a Y>J success as a WP QF10 LHR-MEL @ T-60 Currently has 11 empty seats for selection which explains the early T-60 notification

QF9 MEL-LHR Y>Y+ upgrade success at T-22 as a WP. After 13 failed J attempts to North America, I hoped my luck might turn heading West.

My wife and I were both on a paid J tickets and her sister on a classic rewards J all separate bookings linked together so maybe they saw that and kept us all together. The CR bookings were when Alan Joyce released a whole bunch as an apology Was a fun flight.

My NB daughter got a successful classic reward Y+ to J upgrade in 2022 SYD-YVR I put in the request as WP but wasn’t on the booking so not sure what priority applied

Agree, I think Y+ is worth the points, although I'm not sure I'd pay dollars for it. One further case for paid Y+ though is increased chances of a J upgrade. I do wonder if ticking the Y>Y+ box reduces the chances of a J upgrade. Have seen cases of getting a T-20 Y+ upgrade while others get a...

I find PE better than Y, particularly in the bulkhead seats. 7 across instead of 9, a little more recline, quieter cabin, better food etc. However no substitute for J :)

What day of week? Better chances mid week. If you ticked Y+ fallback you might get that.

Another WP T-20 Y > Y+ upgrade, this time QF22 DFW-MEL. 10 Y > Y+ North America upgrades out of 13 attempts post COVID. For peak times a Y+ original booking likely needed to get to J

Are you WP or P1? Only a Y+ upgrade from a Saver fare for me I’m afraid.

Another WP T-20 Y+ upgrade, this time QF75 SYD-YVR Not bad I guess, given I only booked the flight yesterday, although 1 J seat still appears to be for sale. Post COVID, that's 0 J and 9 Y+ upgrades to/from North America out of 12 attempts. Typically flying at peak times (start and end of...

Y+ upgrade on QF22 DFW-MEL today as a WP Notified T-20 Got seat 20D which has good legroom, however to rub salt in the wound, 12A J seat was empty next row in front of me. Qantas continue to be stingy with J upgrades since COVID

That would be interesting. I've never had a gate upgrade once an original upgrade went trough. I've also regularly noticed multiple unused J seats with when disembarking. I guess they could be inoperable. Would love to know more about the dark art of QF upgrade policy.

Partial success 20/1 QF93 MEL - LAX Economy -> PE at T-21 as a WP J upgrade still remains elusive after 10ish attempts. Seems much harder post COVID even with the A380's return. There were 9+ J seats available 24 hours ago. I wonder if their policies have changed.

Isn't it travel "from" 1 Feb

Is anyone in the Melbourne Emirates lounge tonight with guesting capability? I assigned my daughter a lounge pass but just realized Qantas lounge closes around midnight before the 2:25 flight

110k kms for me supposedly putting me in the top 10% of Platinum flyers. Shame about the MEL-LAX upgrade track record in 2022. 5/7 to W+, 0/7 to J. A380's can't return soon enough.

Failed WP upgrade QF94 LAX-MEL on Friday 27 Jan Flight was very full, apparently picking up passengers from cancelled Air NZ flights due to the floods.

J upgrade to LAX remains elusive. Successful Y+ upgrade for QF93 MEL-LAX tomorrow as a WP Post COVID, that’s 6/8 Y+, 0/8 J always on peak days Sat/Sun departure, Thu/Fri return

Prior to COVID, WP Y upgrades from Melbourne was around 80% successful to J

Failed WP upgrade from Y on QF94 LAX-MEL. Friday night was always going to be a tall order. From 7 Australia <-> LAX sectors this year, 0 successful J upgrades and 5 successes to Y+
