QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

[bussyboy]

Term of the day "Team Coach".

Is this "forcing" policy directly related to successful award releases only?

Different to "supervisor" or "manager"

I my call centre days, I always told people who wanted to go that way that supervisors and managers were just that - decisions were made by front-line staff. And this was well supported.

Yes, all standalone requests are subject to the usual Domestic subclasses being available: N for Economy and D for Business.

Thanks all for the info, much appreciated. I have a status run next week to obtain WP and classic reward seat releases is one of drivers for that!

13th Nov 2025, SYD-SIN QF1 F9A9 success for 2pax! Got the domestic connection in J as well which was no issue as discussed earlier in the thread.

Well done! We may need to sticky this one so people stop asking about whether or not it can be done!

25 Jun 2025 - 1 x Business DFW-MEL (QF22) - success.
Also requested DFW-SYD (QF8) in anticipation of a decline but also come though successful.

(didn’t check loadings)

Didn’t have to try other dates or other departure points. Feels odd… Have done a lot of Transpac requests in the last 18 months and DFW was generally my first preference but always got decline, no matter how many dates I tried.

Any recent requests for PER-LHR? I'm currently on SYD-LHR on QF1 in F but would really like to try PER-LHR and would be happy with J.

Edit: FWIW, it's I2 and late Feb.
