Upgrading 4 seats to an 8 seat cabin would be pushing it in most situations.4 J seats left, and I'm trying to get 4 upgrades

I don't believe that it makes the difference. You may as well just check in and if the upgrade goes through you will be reallocated.Have put in a bid upgrade with VA for the first time. Have just been sent my online check in for the economy fare. Should I hold off on check in until I know the status of my upgrade?

Interested to hear your experience! I think they each have their pros and cons. The main winner for VA is the pre-departure beverages. The food is also very fresh and tasty. QF wins by having almost guaranteed wifi and inflight entertainment. Wifi is rare on VA, and you have a 30% chance of the IFE working at all. QF wins with better drinks once in the air.PER - ADL min ($120) + $70, accepted t-25 for 2pax.
I never received an "outbid" email, although the bid portal recommended me to bid $210 to be "1st". Maintained my $190 pp bid & it paid off. Keen to try Virgin J for the first time, usually fly QF.
Via UpgradeMe Bid? It won't go through if you are booked together and there is only 1 J seat.How does Virgin handle upgrades when two people are travelling together (same PNR) and only one upgrade seat is available? I'd rather skip the upgrade so my wife and I can sit together.
If only one seat is available will it go to a single traveller?
Same just happened for me. BNE-DPS. T-25 was approved. But got an outbid message 2 days ago and advised to increase the bid another $350. Just checked the seating and there is still another J seat available.A friend was showing me some bizzare upgrade process. She bid the minimum +$10 (so I think $320) for MEL to PER. Later she received an email that she had been outbid and suggesting she should bid $900. Yet the day before her flight she received a text from her credit card provider that a charge had gone through and was upgraded.
It seems dodgy to send out an email to say you have been outbid and then it turns out you're not. Unless of course someone had cancelled or changed their flight.

this outbidding can be correct as far as "you were actually out-bid" and if there's only one J seat, its not yours.Same just happened for me. BNE-DPS. T-25 was approved.

Now how do I get them to bring a few bottles of the Archie Rose Gin into the front cabin...
I didn't think DPS destination travellers would consume Archie Rose, more the Gordon's or Woodstock types.the Archie Rose Gin into the front cabin...
They have removed the Fever Tree Tonic now too. Only that Schweppes rubbish. What will us Bogans & Karens do now?I didn't think DPS destination travellers would consume Archie Rose, more the Gordon's or Woodstock types.
