I've been flying recently between SYD-MEL and SYD-BNE on and off, but notice that if I am booking a flight on any weekday evening (usually a later one, around 8pm or so), even if I book a Red-E-Deal, and even if I OLCI, when I get to the airport at around 5-6pm, I do another QuickCheck check-in and am always offered an earlier flight, which I take.
My experience with being offered an earlier flight weekday evenings if I turn up early is currently 100%, I'm wondering if anyone else has had this experience.
I'm of the belief that the old myths of OCLI wrecking your ability of upgrades/flight changes is not true - I'm able to change my flight all the time despite doing OLCI first - just making sure to recheck at the QuickCheck kiosk when I arrive at the airport.
Is that other people's experience? I assume QANTAS is just trying to bring people forward onto relatively unfilled planes, hence the offer. Not that I'm complaining - I'd just keep on eating their food and drinking their drinks in the QP anyway if they didn't!
