Surprised this is not all over the news, mainstream or otherwise.
I haven’t had immediate upgrades for over twelve months, yet all my flights have been upgraded. I think QF is holding out for cash sales for as long as possible! Flights include PER-MEL or reverse as well as BME-PER. I have a few classic reward upgrade requests in for May and still waiting.
Just wondering if you've both checked 'U' fare class availability, and held the upgrade request submission until after flights had ticketed? It's only with that combination in place that it would upgrade on the spot.
Well of course I don’t request an upgrade until after I have received the ticket! I’m not that green. Sometimes I don’t submit the request until weeks later, either. As to fare class, I must admit I haven’t taken any notice with either reward or paid bookings.
OK - the ticket thing has tripped me up a couple of times... there was U class availability, but confirmed booking not yet ticketed when putting in the request, and then it just goes into the queue for later review. It won't clear until nearer the travel date.
I'm not subscribed to expert flyer but thought a random mid morning flight to Melbourne 11 months out would be avaliable. It has been ticketed though.
Are you saying SYD-MEL or something like that?
Thanks. I'll try that. It's a simply ADL - Mel flight on a Tuesday morning. In December that links with same PNR as flight to Dubai on EK.
I do hope this is not another enhancement.
Clearly it is.
