upgrading relative's revenue fare from my account

[ozflier]

Hi,

I want to use my points and my platinum status to request an upgrade to business Brisbane to Canberra for my son.

I’m trying to do it online but can’t find how to .

The system wants only to use my points to upgrade a flight in my name!

I’m guessing that I could phone an agent and incur an additional fee of 5000 points or potentially transfer my points to his account - but then i would lose platinum priority - assuming it would apply to my son who is at base level in QFF.

Any advice please how to do online from my account?

Thanks

If you are not travelling but want to use your points to request an upgrade for an eligible family member, the upgrade will be awarded according to the eligible family member's priority, not the status of the Qantas Frequent Flyer whose points are being used. An exception is made when Platinum One members (who aren’t travelling) redeem points for an upgrade on behalf of eligible family members. In this case the eligible family members will enjoy a higher priority.

How do I request an upgrade for an eligible family member who is not travelling with me?

• Log in to your Qantas Frequent Flyer account at qantas.com
• Select 'Upgrade a family member’
• Enter their Booking reference and Last name and follow the steps
