I wanted to upgrade from PE to Biz on a Syd-Lax
No points upgrades avail.
I pay 1200 for bid to upgrade(sucessfuly) only to find the couple next to me were upgraded from PE to biz for free

grrrrr

Do these airlines really appreciate Frequent Flyers??????

My experience this year is its virtualy impossible to points upgrade on the Syd Lax route ,
The upgraders were a couple no connection as i asked them

My strategy SYD-LAX has always been to upgrade 350 days out. However as a bit of a form guide to SYD-AUH on which I've done six legs this year:

Booked PE, upgraded to J at the gate
Booked PE, Premium Bid upgrade $610 successful to J
Booked PE, flew PE
Booked PE, flew PE
Booked PE, points upgrade to J two months out
Booked PE, points upgrade to J two months out
