QF Business Class Upgrade using FF points

[9339]

Just joined Australian Frequent Flyer. Need some tips to enhance chances of getting an upgrade to business flying Perth London.

Points upgrade or free upgrade?

The title does say points, in which case I would suggest getting a flight that has low J loads and is unlikely to be popular with business travelers.

Apologies - I didnt reread the issue title when I read the question.

Book into as high a fare bucket as you can, choose a mid week flight (lower loads).

Hi 9339,

Welcome to AFF.

I'm sure you are aware that Qantas is notoriously stingy in handing out upgrades. The cheaper tickets will cost more points to upgrade and probably have a lower likelihood of an upgrade coming through.
