Success at T-39 for PE to J on tomorrow's QF12! Very excited as first time upgraded for International, and got a no for the flight over 😁

The uncapped earn is the main thing I miss from my Amex platinum, if this is actually changing then that's great news.

Had dinner in SYD before QF73 yesterday. Bao bun was great - much better than the ones I had in MEL earlier this year. Navarin of lamb was very tender. Personally preferred the Lallier Reflexion over the Rosé.

I don't have anything to back this up but I'd imagine your status when upgrades are processed, not requested, is what matters.

Ahh, probably explains why Y went from being reasonably quiet to suddenly full. Bulkhead PE and a few hours in the SYD Flounge should make it enjoyable enough 🙂

WP PE>J QF73 SYD-SFO on 7-Sep Was J8 this morning but now J0 and no text so not looking promising. Have selected upgrade to gate, fingers crossed there's a chance..

Yep --- Pretty much this, I will write down what routes I'm looking at on what dates, and will only ask for flights that have the right availability (usually A9/I9/Q9 and sale fares visible), then present as much information up front since they can put in a request for multiple dates and...

Success for 4xY SIN>BNE 27th July 2xJ SIN>BNE denied, I7 2xJ SIN>BNE denied, I9 A few SIN>SYD flights with I9 and A9 denied, and denied on a few dates for Y as well. Right up against school holidays and Euro summer is tricky.

I also put in a request for 2xU for SIN>BNE in June (both flights I7) and have been told to wait 48hrs. App still says requested after today so not looking likely based in previous experience. I've made a request before and the droid didn't give a response within 2 min so was told to wait, but...

I've stayed at the Ibis Styles a couple of times - very comfortable and convenient and well priced, short walk to all the terminals really.

It's probably safe to assume any outbid emails exist only to encourage you to increase your bid, regardless of whether you actually have or have not been outbid. J availability fluctuates as people fly forward etc. I've been upgraded many times because it was a late flight, then move to an...

I'd generally pay $100 to just not be jammed next to someone and have more leg room. I personally see value in any upgrade bid that's <$100.

https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/use-points/classic-upgrade-rewards/tables.html The page references upgrade request dates, not booking dates.

The upgrades are at the old rate if they were requested prior to Aug 5th. In both your examples, they'll be charged at the new (higher) rate.

Great username for a CLP1 🤣

Can't answer, but keen to hear your experience in QF F with a lap infant once the trip is over! I'll be doing the same later this year.

2x Y to J on MEL > BNE in October. Put a request in before points deval and came through overnight - must've been awards available.

Just as a data point for upgrades, I submitted a request for an upgrade late last night on a domestic flight. Got the text just before 6am this morning saying it was confirmed, and it was processed at the old rate (as expected).

This is what's in my app for an upcoming flight, not overly helpful.

We ate here a few months back but found the steaks to be incredibly salty 😔
