flight upgrades

This is a little complicated, but someone out there may have an answer: My wife and I were booked Adelaide-London return (in PE) October 1, returning October 8. When booking, I requested points upgrades to Business for both of us on the two international flights. But now my wife's unable to...

Recently got upgraded early to VFF Gold without meeting the 500 status credits criteria (I had around 495 status credits) Usually I would appreciate it but I have been planning my travel strategically so that I will get to Gold in Sep 2022 and can enjoy the benefits until Sep 2023 (planning to...

I have booked a flight on the Qantas website to coughet next year. QF5557. It is a Jetstar flight. Is it possible to upgrade the flight with Qantas points or upgrade at all. As I booked with Qantas (paid). Qantas tells me to refer to the Jetstar web page.

Does anyone have a link to the "upgrade a family member" page on the Qantas website? This used to be obvious but I can't find it anywhere now. The only page I've found is https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/use-points/classic-upgrade-rewards.html which has an "UPGRADE NOW" button on it...

Why would this be? Brisbane to Canberra on Friday evening. Not a cheap ticket.

Booked flights using 3 stacked gv and wait listed points UG on two sectors. At T24 app still sowing as requested so called to check and was told that the bot failed to pick up request in system and threw error. Called again and got QF premium who got done manually. Same now happened on return...

A few weeks ago I booked a QF flight from SYD to CBR in late November. I paid cash to buy the red e-deal fare then used points to upgrade to J. Today, I received an email that equipment swap to that flight resulting in me travelling on an aircraft that has no business class. After accepting the...

I have made a booking, that is now visible within my HHonors account -- when open it I am offered the chance to pay for a room upgrade. I fancy trying out the executive lounge, but should I wait in case I get a free upgrade as a gold member (thanks to Amex)?

Hi All, Having a bit of a pickle with an award upgrade I am trying to process... Have flights booked for... PER-SYD Economy (H) SYD-LAX Premium Economy (T) LAX-SYD Premium Economy (T) SYD-PER Premium Economy (T) Now that last leg is obviously a bit unusual, as there isn't that many SYD-PER...

Just booked an EK flight and looking to upgrade to business with points. The manage booking page gives a couple of options: 1) Auto-upgrade. As soon as an upgrade becomes available we'll allocate it and deduct the relevant fee on that day from your points balance 2) Upgrade alert. We'll send...

Booked Ade-Per-Lon economy flex return, with 2x status credits, in late March for 2 Adults departing mid August and registered for business/premium econ upgrade. SMS from Qantas today advising success for business upgrade Ade-Per 72 days prior to departure? That's a first for me. Checked website...

I've long been just a Qatar Privilege Club Burgundy (lowest tier) member, but have just been notified that I'm now silver 🥂 🎉 - but I have no idea why. I have zero Qpoints, but I've recently joined my account to BA so my BA avios show under QR and I've also recently booked a decent QR flight...

Hi, I’m new to the art of maximising points and I an seeking some advice please. I’m wondering the best way to book flights from Lax to Portland. I understand they are a one world partner. I cannot seem to book through Qantas.com Lastly I booked an economy one way fare from lax to Melbourne...

Hi all Just booked a BNE to LAX flight in Flex for July and was looking to do a points upgrade request. Been a while. Went to manage booking and I cant find anything about submitting a request. How do I apply for the points upgrade request. Thanks XD

Hi AFF experts , just checking to understand what are my chances of upgrade with krisflyer miles for confirmed flights around Dec 2022. What will be the best approach to increase my chances of successful upgrade. I don't want to pay in cash as I have a stash around 260K points in Amex rewards...

Hi, I am heading to SYD from BNE this weekend with my wife, she is going on a work trip and I am tagging along. We have always booked J outright but her work does not allow J and had to book Y instead. I thought I will use points/plat cert to upgrade. When I go to my trip and click on "Points...

Morning all, I’m trying to sneak in another LHR-DRW prior to the route ending on 18th June (or even better, ON the 18th June) Cash fares are a little over what i’d like to pay but looks like I have enough points to upgrade from Y or PE (I think- have 120k ish) Is there a trick to knowing if...

Had a weird one today. I've an Amex Velocity card, largely for the signon offer. When due to renew I've always rung up and tried to negotiate the annual fee to which the response has always been no way but we can downgrade you to the free Amex Discovery card. So I've done this (3 times now) and...

I've got an advantage reward booking in J coming up with SQ to Europe but can see waitlist availability in F from SYD to SIN (there's no F on the second flight). My question is does anyone know if it's possible to upgrade the SYD to SIN leg of the flight to F without cancelling my current...
