QF664 ADL-BNE today J near empty?

[boylero]

Would one not expect an upgrade to J being on a flex ticket and Plat member when there is 1/12 passengers in J today

Also what ever happened to comp drinks on these birds, no plat greeting and no drinks, I must say they did offer a free glass from J once the one passenger had indicated no more

Unless Y was oversold, Nope...

After 4pm for free drinks, and I've not had a WP greeting in Y for a domestic flight ever.. I don't expect one either.

Respectfully, boylero, I think you might be crying over spilt milk.

It's a well-known QF policy not to upgrade passengers for no reason. And as nlagalle stated, the complimentary beverages are a feature of Citiflyer flights departing after 4pm (except for PER).

So you had to fly in the class you paid for and you got a free drink when QF did not have to give it to you (before 4pm departure).

I would call that a win.

I blame the mining tax and then the carbon tax............

 

[QF WP]

You were flying out of ADL - we all know what they are like with PB (or lack thereof).

There is no entitlement to be operationally upgraded as a Plat...but it sounds like you expect it. An understanding of Yield Management as described by nlagalle is a good education.

Actually, on my last 3 flights on 737 ex MEL, BNE and ADE I have had the CSM walk into rows 4 and 5, and offer the WPs a glass of wine after they finish the J service. I suspect it may be part of a trial? These were not Citiflyer flights, and some departed prior to 2PM.

Thanks for the education guys, I'll remember to not expect anything from now

Anything above and beyond. If it eventuates, it's a nice surprise.

Why not upgrade yourself using points?

You did get from A-B in the class you purchased, or am l missing something? What did you expect, an op-up? This isn't USA.
