I completely missed this change in terms and applied for the Signature card after only 12 months and then was wondering why the bonus points didn’t come through. Pleaded for mercy with NAB and as a good will gesture they transferred 120k points (it was only supposed to be 90k with a further 30k...

Upgrade gods came through at T-2.5 QF2 Y > J

Shame it requires flying United ;) My SG colleague who tends to stay over the weekend is having much more success on a Sunday or Monday return. Misses all the Aussie business travellers I guess

Most of my travel is during US peak times Eg Sunday from MEL, Thursday or Friday return. PE success very high (85%), just J remains elusive, hopefully improving once the A380 makes a more regular appearance. QF2 is quite empty in J so hopefully they come to the party. Will plead my case at...

Missed flight due to late arrival into LHR. Now back in the upgrade queue for QF2

After 15 long haul attempts post COVID, finally got a Y>J success as a WP QF10 LHR-MEL @ T-60 Currently has 11 empty seats for selection which explains the early T-60 notification

QF9 MEL-LHR Y>Y+ upgrade success at T-22 as a WP. After 13 failed J attempts to North America, I hoped my luck might turn heading West.

My wife and I were both on a paid J tickets and her sister on a classic rewards J all separate bookings linked together so maybe they saw that and kept us all together. The CR bookings were when Alan Joyce released a whole bunch as an apology Was a fun flight.

My NB daughter got a successful classic reward Y+ to J upgrade in 2022 SYD-YVR I put in the request as WP but wasn’t on the booking so not sure what priority applied

Agree, I think Y+ is worth the points, although I'm not sure I'd pay dollars for it. One further case for paid Y+ though is increased chances of a J upgrade. I do wonder if ticking the Y>Y+ box reduces the chances of a J upgrade. Have seen cases of getting a T-20 Y+ upgrade while others get a...

I find PE better than Y, particularly in the bulkhead seats. 7 across instead of 9, a little more recline, quieter cabin, better food etc. However no substitute for J :)

What day of week? Better chances mid week. If you ticked Y+ fallback you might get that.

Another WP T-20 Y > Y+ upgrade, this time QF22 DFW-MEL. 10 Y > Y+ North America upgrades out of 13 attempts post COVID. For peak times a Y+ original booking likely needed to get to J

Are you WP or P1? Only a Y+ upgrade from a Saver fare for me I’m afraid.

Another WP T-20 Y+ upgrade, this time QF75 SYD-YVR Not bad I guess, given I only booked the flight yesterday, although 1 J seat still appears to be for sale. Post COVID, that's 0 J and 9 Y+ upgrades to/from North America out of 12 attempts. Typically flying at peak times (start and end of...

Y+ upgrade on QF22 DFW-MEL today as a WP Notified T-20 Got seat 20D which has good legroom, however to rub salt in the wound, 12A J seat was empty next row in front of me. Qantas continue to be stingy with J upgrades since COVID

That would be interesting. I've never had a gate upgrade once an original upgrade went trough. I've also regularly noticed multiple unused J seats with when disembarking. I guess they could be inoperable. Would love to know more about the dark art of QF upgrade policy.

Partial success 20/1 QF93 MEL - LAX Economy -> PE at T-21 as a WP J upgrade still remains elusive after 10ish attempts. Seems much harder post COVID even with the A380's return. There were 9+ J seats available 24 hours ago. I wonder if their policies have changed.

Isn't it travel "from" 1 Feb

Is anyone in the Melbourne Emirates lounge tonight with guesting capability? I assigned my daughter a lounge pass but just realized Qantas lounge closes around midnight before the 2:25 flight
