Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

[MEL_Traveller]

QF79 tomorrow (12 Nov) MEL - NRT

Wow! I thought those flights were pretty packed these days!

Successful Y>J upgrade at T-60 on QF73 SYD-SFO as a WP

Only booked it 2 days ago. I imagine being a mid week flight helped. Looks like there are still 17 vacant seats.

And success on the return Y>J upgrade at T-27 on QF94 LAX-MEL on an A380. Looking quite busy with only 3 seats left.

Y to J on tomorrows QF12 LAX to SYD as Gold. Message received at T-27.

Not to be pedantic, but I think you mean I to P … and the fare you originally paid for in the other thread was A not P.

I’m mortified - pedantry appreciated, thank you! I’m more than a few beers in and you’re right - it was I and not Y.

Big thank you to @joelby for the guest into the Flounge. It was great to meet you!

 

[joelby]

Great to meet you too @CaptainCurtis. See you again soon - perhaps during this very flight.

T-23 hours and crickets so far for a Y to J request for a Gold on QF128 tomorrow evening - dammit!

I am not surprised by it… this is because many HKers are leaving HKG!!!

Might be the reason. Received a text from QF saying no joy on the upgrade request - but it may still happen at the airport.

You can only hope for economy oversold now

Not sure how that will help if J is full.

whole plane was chockers - zero sleep on the entire flight. Was ready to move from chockers to choking people by the time we were crossing Indonesia, and then ATC decided to extend the misery by putting us in holding pattern for 20 minutes somewhere north of Sydney so I missed the connecting flight that I had booked to Melbourne.
