    Etihad or Cathay Pacific in Y

    Thanks for that guys I phoned Qantas this morning and they've "Waitlisted" me... I had a look, J is about 50% capacity.... What do you think the odds of an upgrade are? (14 days before flying out) and how far ahead will they advise? I would upgrade the MEL-PER route but it's on a 737, not...

    Unaccompanied Minor (11 Years old but Frequent Traveller)

    That's definitely our last resort at this stage... I am hoping that we can get a human to make a decision based on circumstances and that she is *so* close to her being 12 or an alternative before we make her wait it out
