Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

Success with my Y to J upgrade request on QF128 from HKG-SYD tomorrow (2 Jan). Just saw the upgrade status in the qantas app showing 'Successful' at around T-27.

Was able to check in online but I need to check in at the airport to collect my boarding pass for some reason.

Had a look on EF and can see all seats except for those in row 1 have all been taken. Not sure this is why I need to collect my boarding pass at the airport.
 
T-30 (or there around; still not received any official confirmation via email or SMS; just saw it in the QF App)
QF 36 SIN to MEL tomorrow, 8 Jan
Y --> J successful
Upgrade bid submitted on 14 Dec
QF Gold

Seat 1A secured during check-in!

T-15 and no confirmation for QF79 tomorrow am from Y (saver) to J for 4. I’m WP and put request in September. I thought I was in with a chance as was 10 J seats last night but gone this am which must mean they have done their upgrades and I’ll be in Y.

Confirmed negative at T-9. But lovely stint at the first lounge for me and the fam so can’t complain.

The lady on the desk mentioned that upgrades are usually confirmed 24 hours before but they do another sweep which must be why it was so late in the piece to hear back.
 
QF67 SYD-BLR J upgrade success at T-7 days as a WP1. This is a day flight which could reduce upgrade demand.

QF68 overnight return flight not looking good with no J seats for sale on either Jan 21 or 23 for the past month. Several events on it BLR that week
We’re flying DEL-MEL same time (booked in J) but the cabin was pretty full 6 mths out..🤷‍♂️

I would have preferred a Thursday return to MEL, however no BLR-SYD flight that day and domestic India travel unreliable at the moment due to strikes and pollution so avoiding BLR-DEL domestic travel.
