Status?

Status?

Silver status.

It was only my second time requesting an upgrade, and I was surprised to get it - I thought there'd be a lot of other passengers with a higher status than me.

Travelling NYE missing the fireworks at midnight is not the most popular day to travel, though probably more popular than travelling on Christmas Day.

I'd like QF to fly to Paris, but I guess it's CGK-SYD

Did they do anything special to celebrate New Years Eve?

You’ll need to wait until 2025 for that

I am sure QF/AJ ensure that they are enough announcements of announcements in 2023, 2024, and 2025 that we don’t miss that launch!

QF9 MEL-PER 06/01/23 classic reward upgrade Y to J confirmed -48 hours. After receiving numerous emails asking me to “bid for an upgrade”, I figured there were plenty of empty J seats available! I hadn’t intended to until then.

QF93 - (MEL-LAX) Jan 10th - Y to J points upgrade come through this morning.

Nope, no announcement was made at midnight (whenever midnight may have been, what with the changing timezones).

One'd imagine that there might be some sort of announcement or celebration or something to say that we have arrived in the new year ... May be a round of champers in the F/J cabin and some vino in Y?

Is it customary to make/note any such occasions like NY, Christmas etc during a flight? @jb747

Y to J on QF 11 (Syd/Lax) at about 30 hours, wp

Unfortunately my request for Y to J on QF11 was not successful also WP, unless its a gate upgrade but doing a quick check looks like there are no seats left.... lets hope I get better luck on the SIN-MEL sector on the way home. Well done on the upgrade though!!
