2 x fails as LTG - 13Jun QF37 MEL-SIN $$ bid (I know but I’m short on points) Y>J and QF1 SIN-LHR points Y>J or W. Small compensation - had an empty seat next to me on QF1 on an otherwise full flight…
Will see what the fairies bring on the return next week…

Is this a bid upgrade? You will have more luck if you put in a classic upgrade requests as these are processed first.

Yes, a bid upgrade. They won't allow me to purchase points since I've never flown with the company before.

With various other upgrade paths taking priority, I'd say you have no chance.
