So this is what I'm planning to do to snag two business class seats using QFF points. I'm a humble Bronze passenger.
I'm flying back to Sydney via LAX from my South American holiday and I booked 2x classic reward premium economy seats on AA73. AA73 departs at 22:40
I also want to book 2x economy classic reward seats in QF12 which departs at 21:20 to be able to apply for 2x business class upgrade using points.
If I get approved for this upgrade on QF12 and notified in advance, I hope to be able to cancel my booking on AA73. However, if my upgrade is not approved on QF12, then I will cancel the 2x economy seats on QF12 on time and fly on AA73 on premium economy.
How does it sound? Any better ideas? I know is risky and I'm hoping Qantas allows classic rewards booking to be cancelled prior departure. I'm also aware of the cancellation fee. Hope it's worth the risk but any comments would be appreciated.
