In http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/your-questions/seating-availability-allocation-configuration-help-25680-49.html#post824659 I mentioned my excitement about my first J flight on Qantas (and my second J flight ever, after an AKL-MEL one on NZ a couple of years ago). I was...

Re: change of upgrade on QF 29 tomorrow (May 18) And it seems to have come through already, even though the bookings page said it would be confirmed at 5 hours before the flight. Hooray, seat 2F here I come!

Re: change of upgrade on QF 29 tomorrow (May 18) That's great to hear! Thanks.

change of upgrade on QF 29 tomorrow (May 18) Hello! I've put in my first ever QF upgrade request for my flight to Hong Kong tomorrow (QF 29), and I'm wondering what sort of chance I have of it going through. (I'm a PS.) When I search for availability on KVS, I get J9, so that seems promising...

So as it happened I didn't get a change to try this while the global sale was on. But I did just try now with the Asia sale, and failed. When I rang Qantas, they told me that since the ticket was booked through a travel agent, they weren't able to change the booking. Oh well...

Hello! I need to travel to Taipei in May, and I would like to take advantage of the J sale fares that just came out. I'm thinking that if I fly MEL-HKG-TPE, I could fly in J for the MEL-HKG segment at least. Now, my work will only pay for Y, and I'd like to be able to upgrade it myself by...

Yes you're right, often I can. Maybe my question should have been: Will checking in or selecting seats reduce the chance of a points upgrade or op-up on Qantas, and more generally on other airlines?

This is something I have wondered as well. Will checking in reduce the chance of a points upgrade or op-up on Qantas, and more generally on other airlines? (I have a strong preference for an aisle seat, so I usually try to check in as early as I can to make sure I get one.)
