International Business - Qantas uncompetitive?

I don't think you earn cabin bonus on CX though. However, if you can get CX F, I'll definitely take that!

I Agree CX firts is great and superior to QF

I am assisting a relative with Premium Fare on QF and AA Y fare (to JFK) - all on 1 ticket.

I have upgraded all AA segments to J(C class). AA has reissued the ticket.

90 days comes up soon and I have this horrible feeling I won't be able to register QF international upgrade requests to J!

Thanks all. The booking was screwed up in multiple ways, sorted out efficiently by the ladies on the silver line. So I can upgrade to F to LAX but I think I won't bother, my only indulgence at home is nice wine so I don't need to spend 90000 points return to drink Moet. Flat bed will suffice...I think.

In the end I didn't bother reissuing the ticket to be classed in F on AA, I have paid QF membership and won't need high status for a while. I could choose front row LAX to ORD (but chose second).

Meluser- if the issue is I class booking that won't allow online upgrades you can call and request an upgrade without a penalty.

You're over-reading it.

Simply put; with a list of up to 16 flight segments, "Upgrade not available" appeared against those that were not QF flights numbers and metal.

Most recently, this came up against AA, CX, IB and BA flight numbers. The QF flight numbers indeed showed upgrade options. (Took it's sweet time to load as well).

So what I am posting to rechoboam is that the presence of AA flight number does not cause the issue, so the QF agent was incorrect.

See my earlier post: "... If I class then you need to call to put in for an upgrade - there's a bug in Qantas.com".

That WAS the reason, not AA segments.

trigger, with Qantas, I class is discounted business class.

Got ya =) makes sense now... Yeah I had to call to request an upgrade for my flight in C class... online it wouldn't let me do it.
