Upgrade requested on non-upgradeable fare

[Boeta]

Hi All,

Humour me, I just logged into my booking for my to the Singapore F1 later this year, and I'd booked two 'N' class fares in whY with QF on the PER-SIN direct, which suddenly I was able to request an upgrade on. I realize under normal circumstances the (N,O,Q etc.) fares cannot be upgraded, however last time this happened last year (tried upgrading an 'N' class fare) I happen to jag the night they were about to have a promotion whereby any fare class could request an upgrade.

Is anyone else on a non-upgradeable fare having the same good fortune?

Or have I managed to score a glitch in the matrix...

QF just emailed out some offers for upgrades on non-upgradeable fares.

Last time they did that - even those who didn't receive the offer could still request one online

Yep got 1 too - just submitted a request on a dirt-cheap ex-SIN O-class fare


Someone in another thread received an email offering an upgrade on their Discount Y there and others have tried their luck.

Just upgraded mRs Ansett and myself Hong Kong Melb on non upgradeable fair hopefully will be a nice surprise for her on the way back from Russia may even upgrade on QF127 on the way over and what is amazing is that this trip is in July

It was my understanding that all QF fares for a QF flight on QF metal are upgradable now.

Not for international (except when they run these offers)

Yep, I just discovered the same thing.
We have 3 dirt-cheap O class fares on QF107 in July, and I can't decide to upgrade both legs (SYD-LAX, LAX-SYD) to PE, or just one way to J.

I would do just the return to J. Providing space available in J... It still is a lottery with now a lot more people playing

Thank you AFF!!! I havejust requested HKK-BNE upgrade J on an O ticket. If it we get it, it will be wonderful as we have a 12 hour layover after our FCO-HKK flight on CX.

My June and September SYD-SIN sale flights are also both upgradeable. I probably won't request an upgrade on these legs though as they are day flights ~7hrs and I'm happy to slum it in Y 80K.

So as it were the upgrade gods were shining down, my poverty 'O' class ticket became a Business class seat, not only on the way there, but on the way back and for two people! Anyone else here have any luck?
