Seat map should be a giveaway…QF479 SYD-MEL Apr 8 (Long way off I know) Y-J Successful. QF has a discrepancy over whether it's a b737 or an a330, so hoping it's the latter

They took away seat selection this morning... (Upgrade went through last night and it was a 737). App is showing some weird things (A 737 with a 1-2-1 seating config and lie flat seats) so I'm not sure what's going on.Seat map should be a giveaway…
EF shows 479/8APR as a 73H and the J cabin is showing 73H with seats in row 3 taken.They took away seat selection this morning... (Upgrade went through last night and it was a 737).

Had exactly this happen to me on QF2. Went from bulkhead window seat in Y to middle seat middle row of PE and was considering trying to be downgraded back. They had actually filled Y too by then so there was no where to go. Despite that I actually had a somewhat comfortable flight.Annoyingly you can’t tick the gate upgrade box without also requesting to be upgraded to PE if business not available. I would be pretty annoyed if I got upgraded to middle seat PE at the gate from my Y bulkhead/Y row to myself. Think I’d be asking to have my old seat back!
How do you find PE compared to Y? The price difference doesn’t seem worth it m (I’ve never flown it myself)Had exactly this happen to me on QF2.

I would be ringing QF to make sure.QF2 LHR - SYD Gold (but tipped into Platinum once boarded)
Upgrade at gate Y to J for LHR - SIN leg only (no new boarding pass for SIN - SYD) but noticed in lounge at Singapore that the 130k+ pts had been taken for upgrade QF2 London/Sydney.
Lounge staff in Singapore couldn't confirm upgrade but thought it might at the gate but no 'bad beep' unfortunately.
Anyone else experienced this before? Assume I'll get some of those points back since the upgrade wasn't for the entire flight?
Do you mean the unrefurbished A380? There's no J on the lower deck of either configuration... but you may have scored older 'F' with J service?QF128 HKG - SYD WP
Y+ to J lower deck refurbished A380

I would hazard a guess slim to none being only bronze?Hiya, I’m only a Bronze flying QF1 (SYD-SIN only) in J on 31/04/24 with an adult companion with the same status, on the same booking.
We put in a request for F T-7mths, any likelihood you’ve seen that we may be successful, or should I forget any chance behind all other tiers? Very happy in J so no dramas, but would love to experience J as neither of us have before.
Hi AJS, unfortunately with the way that QF international upgrades work, you won't know either way until much closer to the travel date... maybe not even until the day of travel. Given that 31/04/2024 doesn't exist, I can't check how full your specific flight is... but as Mr Murray alludes to, the odds are probably unlikely for 2 with no status anyway.Hiya, I’m only a Bronze flying QF1 (SYD-SIN only) in J on 31/04/24 with an adult companion with the same status, on the same booking.

Cheers Matt, yeah experience has shown me I won’t hear before T-24 but fair to say I won’t even be getting my hopes up then either haHi AJS, unfortunately with the way that QF international upgrades work, you won't know either way until much closer to the travel date... maybe not even until the day of travel.

Assuming this should be 30/4, the F cabin looks quite empty at the moment (F9 on both the LHR and SIN legs) but it's way too early to tell.
I would think chances are very slim - there are 70 J seats to complete against on the flagship route, including any Bronze requests on LHR-SYD likely to trump your request on SIN-SYD. I'd suggest checking back within 24 hours of departure, after the Platinum One, Plat and Gold requests have been processed.
Hopefully a few people buy/upgrade to F on the LHR-SIN leg only leaving some seats available on the SIN-SYD leg for upgrades, but expect to fly J and you won't be disappointed.
