QF 27 SYD-SCL 25 Apr
I was already in J (DONEx originally exCAI) with brother-in-law on LCIRSA29. I9 W0 up through yesterday with 12 unbooked or blocked seats. No email or SMS, but at about 24 hours before J3 W1 and was able to move b-i-l next to me on the upper deck.....

Happy wandering

First I've seen of a 'let down' message... are these new, or I'm just too used to getting the positive outcome ;)

I'm not sure, this is my first rejection SMS, I've been lucky on the past four runs to the UK. I just don't like the teaser of "... if anything changes..." While I might hope for the magic beep when I go to board in Sydney, I know it's not going to happen. Anyone up in J for QF1, you have my seat :-(, so please send a drink back to 33G

Success - Y to J QF20 MNL to SYD at the gate - and no points deducted !
If you had a request in, it’s pretty safe to say they will be extracted soon enough! For my last ‘at the gate’ upgrade, it took another day to pull points.

Cheers,
Matt.
