I have a multi passenger booking to US later in the year.
Travel is MEL-LAX (QFonQF) and then LAX-DFW (AAonAA) [and return]
The AA flights (LAX-DFW-LAX) are in Full Economy (Y).
I am a QFF and reservation has QFF number plastered all over it.
I could join the AA Frequent Flyer program (free to join). I could then buy Miles - 40000 cost USD$1000 - there is a bonus at the moment so I would end up with 52000 points.
Could I use these points to upgrade everyone on the reservation from Economy to First for the AA flights? (All passengers are QFF members and the QFF numbers are embedded in the reservation)
How would go about actioning such an upgrade?
Are upgrades instant or like the QF international waitlist and then find out at checkin system?
thanks
