However if you are a QR Privilege Club (PC) member, the QR N subclass does qualify for QR upgrade request using PC Qpoints or Qcredits - On such a short flight, I wouldn't bother. Ineligible for PC upgrade request are "T-O-W" subclasses.
N earns 25% base miles on AA so you could send it there if you participate in buying points for that programme also then redeem on QF. Alternatively you could earn to QR and if you do more QR flying then transfer to Accor if enough points.
The Frequent Flyer Concierge team takes the hard work out of finding reward seat availability. Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, they'll help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
