How to get from HKG to BNE and get an points upgrade

[danmancs]

Hi all,

I'm flying on QF 98 HKG to BNE on 17th Sep on a full Y fare, and I've put in an upgrade request. However exp flyer is showing zero availability in J, which is generally not a good sign!

Since I'm on a full Y ticket, can anyone suggest any other options for getting to BNE with a likely upgrade? QF128 - SYD is just as packed!

Can you cancel the ticket and use the funds to buy a fare ex TPE with CX, Friday nights are never good for light loads.

Nah, not an option, booked through work.

I'm annoyed because I could have flown via sydney in PE, but thought i'd take the quicker route and upgrade... grrr.
