First Time poster - but thanks to all the valuable advice gathered already by just reading!!
I am planning to go to Europe (Germany) in May this year on business but want to take my 8yo son to see his grandparents as well.
With some FFMiles at hand I was thinking of using them to upgrade (my status is Platinum, his status Bronze).
The only option really is to book us booth into Y and apply for an upgrade (unless I book myself into J and only ask for him to be upgraded
)
Would I have better upgrade chances flying via LRH or FRA (does not make a difference to the end destination, but one would be A380, the other 747) ?
Are there differences /better chances to upgrade from PE to J compared to Y to J ?
Last but not least just after a confimation that in general award upgrades with QF FF Miles are only possible on QF ticketed AND operated flights, NOT on codeshare with QF flight number (eg BA flights)
Thanks
