Hard to know which your son would have thought would've been sweeter, you upgrading them as a surprise or them getting an operational upgrade.

Maybe, but once you turn left.............. it's so hard to turn right again

Son has been very spoilt actually lol. He has had 1st a couple of times to London. His new wife was thrilled and they are both resigned to only flying econmy lol .
They did enjoy the 1st class lounge with mum and dad though

MEL-AKL and return (11/08 and 12/08) upgraded with points, cabin was not even halfway full.

QF93 MEL-LAX success August 12 as WP. Was notified 3 days out.

My colleague who is SG was also successful on the same flight, although he was only notified the day before.

Lots of empty J seats showing in the days leading up to travel, but all were full during the flight. Seems they upgraded everyone they could.

Will be interesting to see my luck on the 787 return on QF96 with the smaller J cabin.

QF96 today was upgraded to W only. Damn you small J cabin.

Is there still a chance of an upgrade to J at the airport?

 

[QF WP]

Still a chance but less likely unless there are pax that change their mind about travel at last minute.

Successful J > F, QF81 SYD to SIN on 20 August. WP notified ~T-60.

As an observation, only 3 booked in F until Wednesday last week, then looked like P1 / CL upgrades processed seeing four more seats go, then just one more (me) as of now. Will be interested to see what Monday brings.

Let us know if cabin ends up full. That's what happened to me twice recently. On one flight just 6 hours out 7 F seats were available for sale - cabin ended up full.

Two successes this month:
QF1 SYD-SIN J to F using points.
QF36 SIN-MEL J to F using points.

Notified 7 and a bit days in advance (P1).

Will do. My guess is full. Either through processing NB / PS / SG upgrades between now and departure and also staff that have F available staff travel.

12 / 14 as I sit here waiting to pushback. 1A is unserviceable. From what I could tell there was one more upgrade processed yesterday, which left 5 seats free. Therefore 3 more upgrades / staff since then, one seat unserviceable, one seat free.

Thanks. Amazing how it fills. Noticed it in J domestic cabins recently too.

Hope you enjoy(ed) the flight!

This week QF1 SYD-LHR J to F notified T-28.
I was watching the loads and seat maps on the flight for the past couple of weeks it was F2 with two seats unoccupied. J with a couple of vacant seats.
I think I was maybe the only upgrade so feeling very grateful even if it is the Harry Potter Suite !!

 

[Ansett]

Harry Potter Suite ?

 

[QF WP]

Harry Potter - as in Row 9 1/2 ??
