Just wanted to share my recent experience. My original booking was in Premium Economy, VA7 BNE-LAX then VA2 LAX-SYD. Was waitlisted for upgrade on both flights. I just happened to notice that there were business reward seats available on VA8 LAX-BNE for my return, so I contacted the call centre...

Of the 4 passengers I spoke to in the bar, one was a corporate traveller ("work books my tickets, I would never pay for this myself" were his words), the other three "just used points" to get their seats. My point is, there once seemed to be a lot of availability of reward seats and reward...

Hi all, I've noticed a lot of problems gaining points upgrades (Premium to Business) lately, on the SYD-LAX or BNE-LAX sector. As in, I can never find them and my 'waitlist' never comes through. I use SkyScanner and others to be alerted to award seats if/when they become available, but still...

Thanks for all you input, guys and gals! Very much appreciated. I still look forward to the day when I get an upgrade just for being a nice guy lol. Or the day when I can afford to pay for it :/ (PS I do remember a friend of mine being upgraded to First virtually every trip. But her father was...

Hi team, Long time observer, first time poster :) I am currently Velocity Gold, with the probability of achieving Platinum soon. I have traditionally used points to upgrade to Business, but I always here stories of high-status members getting automatic upgrades (i.e. without having to...
