Congratulations - a win for Bronze!
Great to hear @SnowGoose , rubs salt into @Cheesey Mac a little, ha!Not very active around here but just wanted to share my success story as a Bronze (Points Club +) ... Successful upgrade from Saver Y all the way to J on QF1 Syd - Sin. Received text at T-27. I'm over the moon!
Congrats - two weeks ago I had a full flex fare as WP and stayed all the way back for 7 hours!Not very active around here but just wanted to share my success story as a Bronze (Points Club +) ... Successful upgrade from Saver Y all the way to J on QF1 Syd - Sin. Received text at T-27. I'm over the moon!
And success on the return QF-68 BLR-SYD at T-27Successful Y -> J upgrade at T-60 on QF67 SYD-BLR as a WP.
First time to India and was wondering how I would go with the upgrade given no PE. Looks like quite bit of availability with 9 J seats still not selected. Economy also looked quite open with lots of empty rows of 4 before I was upgraded.
Looks like way more than 10 J seats open on thus flight. More like 20-22I’m on Qf11 Y+ reward this Friday (2nd August) and looks like 10 or so business seats remaining.
Bidding minimum $1,100-1,300 seems to be better value than the 73,400pts but I think that’ll put me way down the list? Any views on this? Has anyone been successful bidding from Y+ to J?
Oh wow, that’s me just making a dummy 1 person booking and seeing how many seats are left on the seat mapLooks like way more than 10 J seats open on thus flight. More like 20-22
Bidding any amount will put you at the very bottom of the list, after all the classic upgrade requests have been processed. Unless you don’t have the points to do it, or the option isn’t available, I’d suggest you put in a classic upgrade request instead.I’m on Qf11 Y+ reward this Friday (2nd August) and looks like 10 or so business seats remaining.

Today my WP colleague got the same QF67 Y->J upgrade at check in for free without even asking. J cabin was really empty.Successful Y -> J upgrade at T-60 on QF67 SYD-BLR as a WP.

@Mswombat Hope you got your upgrade mate. Must have been a goer based on load, surely?

And welcome aboard AFF @upgrade12345Hi All
Family x4 booked QF11 in November Premium economy sale fare return SYD-LAX all one booking.
Points upgrade requested to J class for all 4 people with myself the reqester being Gold status.
I assume that upgrading 4 people is alot harder than a smaller amount. Will they offer to separate us and upgrade some of our booking ?
Advice on the chances of success please?
Many thanks
