My wife and I had applied for a points upgrade to Business on QF22 (Tokyo - Sydney) last Monday. I'm a Gold FF, she holds spouse membership. I knew there was a chance it wouldn't come through and I would have taken it on the chin if it hadn't.
At 7.30am on Monday we each got a confirmation text from Qantas. We were pretty delighted. It would have been a first in 25 years of Qantas Club membership.
When we got to check-in, however, we were given Economy boarding passes. The check-in staff said there were no J seats available. I was mightily annoyed. My wife was ready to lynch someone.
Is it common to have your upgrade cancelled after having it confirmed? Is there any point in my further complaining to Qantas? I sent them an email earlier in the week, which went unanswered.
I spend $80-$90K a year on airfares. Mostly for my employees. I'm tempted to take my business elsewhere.
