Qantas Courtesy Upgrade Love

[Aeryn]

Madrooster posted in #56 above that courtesy upgrades for domestic travel would be processed 6 hours before departure.

3 days out there were 4 unsold J seats, I guess lots Biden for ungraded when prompted cause not at 6hrs nor 45mins out has anything come through.

A small win on the golden triangle yesterday. Y was absolutely packed but biz still had 4 empty seats.

I'd actually say if its domestic its due to last minute bookings and/or people moving flights around. Also QF often has standby staff as well which I imagine the system would prioritise over courtesy upgrades.

At least 2 were bid to upgrade as I overheard then talking about it in lounge then saw them board. And yes fly ahead was operating but that's typical during school holidays.

From the other thread here on AFF… only pilots travelling on duty would get priority, and they wouldn’t be on a standby list, they’d be confirmed.
