flight upgrades

Pondering a flight to LHR going via Syd to Melbourne to Singapore and then the flight would meet up with QF1. QF2 home directly to Sydney It is all on one booked ticket as a suggested flight by the Qantas system . However wondering how I would go with requesting upgrade on the trip. If I want to...

http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/cases/vic/VCAT/2021/883.html?context=1;query=Qantas;mask_path=au/cases/vic/VCAT The claim was dismissed in VCAT but the Tribunal member was not wholly complimentary about QF 🙄 I'm feeling too lazy to check for any appeal proceedings 😜

I recently booked economy MEL-ADL for April 2023 and requested a points upgrade to business. It’s sitting in “upgrade requested”. I have had flights in the past that went through immediately when I requested an upgrade but this did not. I guess it’s one of those now we have to wait until a few...

Hi, I am interested to know if VA outsource the handling of their upgrades. I put a bid in when I booked months ago for a flight in December. I’ve had an email stating they are unable to process it due to a credit card error and to click on a link. The email address is...

I have a JAL Business issued ticket purchased through an TA agent. SyD> HND>LHR and then return MXP(Finnair AY 1752 - Economy) >HEL( BUS)>HND(BUS) >SYD(BUS). I was wondering if I could upgrade the Finnair air sector using Qantas Frequent Flyer points for MXP>HEL sector to Bus. My agent...

Hi All, Feeling like I’m probably going to be told something I should already know… But: QFF Gold travelling DUB-SYD via Doha and Perth in January in J. Originally on 787-8 and QSuites for the QR legs but the DOH-PER leg has changed to an A380. Trying to find how to upgrade to F on that leg...

Does anyone have any more details about when it became possible to request classic upgrade rewards on Emirates flights and when it is offered to passengers? I thought it was only possible on Qantas flights, but then saw someone on Facebook post the following screenshots, which seem to show it...

I currently hold an Amex Explorer and I'm interested it changing over to the Amex Platinum. I previously received an upgrade for 40k points to move from Essential to Explorer, which I took up. I am wondering if anyone ever received any upgrade offer to go from Explorer to Platinum? I called...

First world problems and all but I called up to have my flight on Thursday upgraded using my complimentary flex to business pass that you get as a platinum only to be told that there's no seats available. When I pointed out that they sent me an email with a UpgradeMe bid earlier today so there's...

Hi all Does anyone have any understanding and experiences of international classic upgrade award priority when there are multiple family members with different status on a booking? For example: i’m WP and my mum is PS, how will our upgrade request be prioritised - according to my WP or her PS...

Has anyone used MileagePlus miles to waitlist an upgrade but had another airline FFP against the booking? I have an upcoming UA itin, mostly in Premium Plus and would be interested in trying to upgrade to Polaris. I will credit the points / status to VA. I already have an (empty) MileagePlus...

Can anyone tell me if UA Gold gets the complimentary Economy Plus upgrade on flights to USA from Australia? I'm hoping what I have seen on the United website isn't correct where it says Australia isn't included.

I booked a Qantas SYD-MEL flight yesterday in economy, and there is U class (Business Classic Reward) availability on this flight. (There is a connecting international flight on the same booking.) The booking has been ticketed but when I went to request an upgrade, it hasn't confirmed and...

Hi, I understand that with PCP you get SC’s for a classic reward flight. What about if you use points to upgrade a paid flight to Business. Anyone know? TIA, as always.

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere (I did search but couldn't see it!) - I received the email offering upgrade to ALL Gold back in August and accepted - got the confirmation email but no upgrade to the ALL status yet. Anyone know what the timeframe is for this to kick in?

Seems like a decent offer? https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/member-offers/accor-gold-status-offer.html

Hey folks, I’m flying to Glasgow in October (Christchurch-Melbourne-Perth-London-Glasgow), I thought I might stick in a wishful cash bid offer for an upgrade from economy to business (fallback to PE) for the Perth-London flight and maybe the return London-Singapore and or Singapore-Sydney. I...

I'm looking for someone with experience using United's website or the app to upgrade a flight with $ after the flight has been purchased. I understand you need to buy an 'upgradeable' ticket (economy plus, premium economy plus). Then leading up to the day of flight, a price will be advertised...

Can a Qantas economy flight be upgraded to business using cash?
