Anyone been bumped up to F *after* pts upgrade to J?

[SeatBackForward]

Just wondering if anyone was paid for Y/Y+, applied for a points upgrade to J that was given, but then found themselves upgraded into F (for whatever reason)?

Was once on a Paid Y and given an op up at check in only to be upgraded to F in the lounge by the First host LHR-MEL. Best part was I was a expedia.br fare of $1100.00 return.

Ding ding ding!

Yes, I've had that happen.
why?

 

[The Flying Brick]

I'm scared of the silence... Just curious if such occurrences are possible, it seems they might.

hahaha.

I think the reason for the op-up to F might be more important. Knowing the circumstances of my points upgrade to J followed by F op-up, it is unlikely to be repeated anything more than rarely.

 

[Ewing]

I haven't.

My ex housemate however had his points upgrade from J to F declined only to get the magical beep at the gate. Nice way to save 45,000 points

Not happened for me.

A mate of mine flew back from HKG on Chistmas Eve a couple of years ago. He booked Y+, applied for and got a points upgrade to J and then got an Op-Up to F. Sadly for him, it was a 747 not a 380, but it was still F. Jammy bugger was NB, or possibly just PS, too.

I was HOng Kong to Syd, a paid J ticket, and the teenage children were booked in Y.
Seperate tickets but linked via phone.

beep at boarding, put them in J, right behind me
very happy they were too.....they were excited enough about Y +

Not *truly* F but was upgraded from W to J using points and selected 3A on the A380 HKG-SYD when F was being sold as J. I suppose if all the stars aligned, there can be a situation where Y is op-upped to J at check-in and then you request an F seat. But this would require A380 being sold as 3 class, which would only happen on QF127/QF128 rotation at this stage.

I was op-upped once as NB from Y+ to J on a 744 SYD-NRT. Great thing was that points and SCs credited as J.

had this happen last year, points upgrade from whY to J (MEL-LAX for 2 pax), then new F boarding passes handed to me exiting the F lounge

 

[mmchow]

Happened to EK flights. Bought Y and upgrade to J with points. Upon boarding, pass got rejected and handed over to another agent. New boarding pass with F - thanked the agent and a happy flyer!

 

[bsb]

Yes, QF LHR SYD and I was Silver at the time

I've had a similar experience with EK, except I was in the lounge when I got called to the desk for the change.
