Qantas Business Class Upgrade - MEL -> SIN

[DeanCorp]

My points bought me $80k worth of travel last year.

While there is sufficient I-class availability on those three days, as they are EK, even a P1 can't request a review on EK flights with QF points.

If your travel is flexible, EK has been known to open a few seats at the last minute.

Are you WP or above?

Thanks I have a work function and would have to leave Melbourne 25-28 latest. I assume it makes no difference leaving from Melbourne or Sydney?

Qantas Metal does not fly to DXB; this limits your options.

Do you have a Skywards account and AMEX Reward Points?

Qantas really needs to improve their Melbourne business class lounge—it hasn't changed at all since the last time I was there, and that was years ago.

It is colloquially known as 'the dungeon'! Both the SYD and MEL J lounges are underperformers.

My friend has found my first class through Singapore airlines but not keen on the stop over in Singapore total travel time 32h

This really has gone OT to the thread but I would go the SQ F. There are worse places to spend a stopover than SIN, and SQ F is absolutely first rate.

As for getting CR J or F on EK for MEL-DXB in a few months.. really difficult. Any seats would have been snapped up months ago.

Usually EK rewards can more easily be had from Asian ports - ie DPS, KUL, BKK etc.. but of course than means a stop and being creative.

Given set dates in DXB, the old saying applies imo: Beggars can't be choosers

Yes, definitely off topic but I will wear track pants on this trip!
These are my options:
