3/10 QF758, flexY - J, upgrade text at T-10.
First ever go at upgrading, so 1 from 1

So I had to change my inbound flight from MEL to SYD to the night before on 27/10. I requested upgrade to business and got the confirmation instantly YAY.Might be released, might not. You do see vacant J seats even with somewhat fuller Y cabins. So, you can hope for the release but it's far from guaranteed.
I seem to recall something about domestic QF upgrades being processed immediately, is that only pending U availability?QFF Silver status on QF9 MEL-PER discount Y-to-J flying 6/10 classic upgrade 27,200 points confirmed at T-28
14 J seats to choose from.

Oh, thanks. Yes the coast to coast A330 is definitely a higher value upgrade to have.It was the case that domestic upgrades were processed immediately if there was U availability, and later if not. But from other posts here this appears to have been "enhanced" at least for some flights, particularly A330's x-PER. Officially, it's only advertised that upgrades are processed around T-72 for P1 and WP, and T-24 for everyone else. See https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/use-points/classic-upgrade-rewards.html

The relevant words being "if available". Nearer the departure date, and if there are seats unsold, a few more might make their way into reward classification. Hence later notification. At least, that is my interpretation.It hasn’t been enhanced.
Just awful info on the website.
Domestic Upgrades are still confirmed immediately if there is availability.
16.2 Classic Upgrade Rewards - for travel only within Australia (on flights QF400 and above and travel on domestic legs of flights QF1-299 and, effective 27 March 2022, QF350-389)
16.2.1 Classic Upgrade Rewards can be requested for a specific flight and date between 353 days and 10 hours prior to scheduled departure of the flight. The awarding of Classic Upgrade Rewards is subject to availability at the time of request. If a Classic Upgrade Reward is available at the time of request, it will be confirmed immediately and Qantas Points will be deducted from the Member's account.
Yes that’s correct. If U is available (a regular Domestic Business Class Award) at the time of you requesting the upgrade then it will get confirmed immediately and points deducted.The relevant words being "if available". Nearer the departure date, and if there are seats unsold, a few more might make their way into reward classification. Hence later notification. At least, that is my interpretation.
