    Do free upgrades exist?

    I am a Qantas platinum FF. All from domestic, economy tickets. That is hard to do. Roughly 150-200 flights in the past 2 years. I never take a Virgin flight. I have never got an upgrade to business for free, what gives?

    Qantas points for flights is a rip off

    you know i once heard that 1 point = 3 cents. That would make a trip to AKL $1080 plus taxes the qantas system is bogus. They need to decrease the points to fly. WE are all being taken for a ride.
