Of the ~200 people a few percent are going to be of the entitled type and unfortunately travel seems to bring that trait out in the best of people. My favourite thing about this system imo is that it's actually enforced, if not for anything but to allow priority boarding actually remain priority.

Quite a different experience last night on an evening BNE>MEL. CSM came around after take off and took drink orders 1A to 2F then handed them out. We then skipped meal ordering entirely and instead he approached each pair (1AC to 2DF) with a prepared tray of each option to choose on the spot...

I did OLCI for a domestic 737 and after check in the system moved me from 5A to 11A without any notification.. I was able to move it back fine though.

Ah, I think you have to call to change destination - I haven't personally tried it though.

You don't pay a change fee but you will pay a fare difference if there is one - but you'll realise that whether you change or cancel and rebook. CR is flexible but 5,000 point change fee.

Last week 3 out of 4 sectors were served 1A to 3F which is what I usually see, but on the last one they served someone in 1F first and then resumed 1A to 3F from there. They might've been particularly VIP.. I don't recall seeing it deviate otherwise though - VA is always different.

This previous thread should answer your question - Name change on Qantas classic reward ticket

I had 4 DSC sectors this week and they posted 24hrs after my arrival.

Spent about 30min there early Tuesday afternoon. Very busy, not much seating available, but it looked nice and fresh. Plenty of charging spots was great too. Mens urinals were pretty stained and dirty though, probably the sheer amount of traffic.

13th Nov 2025, SYD-SIN QF1 F9A9 success for 2pax! Got the domestic connection in J as well which was no issue as discussed earlier in the thread.

Definitely agree. I think the new display does show two things: 1. UpgradeMe is becoming popular enough to warrant updating this 2. Increases the FOMO and provides a way to 'get in the lead' - which ultimately means more money for VA whether not there is actually a bid at that amount.

Having a poke around around in the response that builds the page I see: "numberOfSeatsAvailable": 3, "numberOfBidders": 5, "numberOfBids": 3, "auctionClosingTimestamp": "2024-11-28T19:55:00", I wonder if the 3 bids from 5 bidders means that 2 are sharing the same bid amount (maybe the...

Looks like the UpgradeMe screen has changed - shows the number of seats available and number of offers too.

Yes the JQ rewards error has been happening for a few weeks at least - there's others experiencing it in other threads.

Thanks all for the info, much appreciated. I have a status run next week to obtain WP and classic reward seat releases is one of drivers for that!

How feasible is it to request an international J release and then get a domestic connection added to it? Would this also add an additional ~25k points pp for the domestic J leg or is it combined under the one booking?

Beer selection, at least in BNE is actually really good. A few standard beers plus Green Beacon Wayfarer and Balter XPAs which is much better than what QF offer.

I don't disagree with the date and times in the terms, but some of their systems run off UTC and people have had trouble with DSC before when booking early in the first day so I'd personally avoid the +/-10hrs of the promotion period to be safe.

I reached SG this year mainly through <$400 J fares ex-BNE with family pooling - and will retain it through until Aug 2026. I'm obviously not VA's target market for SG+ so will fall back to PS when the new changes come in. I'll probably shift more spend and travel back to QF to reach WP and...

Yep, this is why sites say "check for new rewards X days before departure at 10am Queensland time since this is at midnight UTC.
