Everything is all zeroed out now, though I doubt that means all seats were actually sold… but any unsold ones in Y+ and J could well have been allocated (though not necessarily assigned to seats) now.


Business has 2 unassigned; likely just not done online check in though:


Premium seat map at the moment:

Cheers,

Sorry to hear it - certainly a bit of a mess, now. I wonder if when you called about the classic award that they put something extra on standby as well?! Anyway, next time I wouldn’t even call up. I was worried once you mentioned this that things could go awry. Let the algorithm do its thing. There’s no such thing as favours or priority in this game unless you’re at the very top of the pile.

For what it’s worth, here’s the current availability and seating; and also be sure to check Manage my Booking for travel class and seats assigned. I’ve seen situations in the past where the reality was different to the SMS I received.

Good luck, and I hope the trip goes well regardless of the seats that take you there!

Cheers,
Matt.

Brilliant thanks

To there credit they are trying to resolve as they can see the system made the mistake!

Edit I take this back, gave up after being bounced from one team to the next. Pretty poor service in the end as nobody can explain why the system rejected requests.

Or really care - you will eventually go away and the usual level of Qantas service has prevailed and will continue. They work so hard on behalf of their alternative carriers.

Interestingly there are Business classic rewards bookable for QF9 on 24/12/2022! Which seems kinda crazy! However they have yet to approve my (WP) upgrade request from economy...

because quite simply you're not in the evaluation window for WP upgrades on the flight yet. It's a good sign that you should get yours though

Yeah on the flights today, to be honest Vancouver sounds like a nightmare, friends sat on the tarmac for five hours waiting to unload.

Because we didn’t fly to Sydney Qantas just dumped us on the street no assistance. Given we had ski bags x 4 not exactly easy to get a cab to an airport….

QF513 BNE-SYD 7 Jan upgrade request came through early on Xmas morning. Merry Christmas from the red rat!

Looking at the loading in the J cabin on a Saturday morning it looks like the’ve been handing them out like hotcakes.

Cheers skip

28 Dec QF924 Syd-Cns red-e deal, upgrade came through T-14hrs.

9 Jan QF505 BNE-SYD First leg of RTW, upgrade through 9 days before just waiting on QF11 SYD-LAX leg from what I can see there looks like a few seats still open in business but never know on the upgrade lottery on international. I hope it comes through as this will be my LTG flight.
