I just tried to bid for upgrade with an Elevate fare and it was deemed ineligible. I’ve never had any fare not eligible for a bid for upgrade with Virgin before. Is there some new policy that only Freedom fares are eligible? This is for a flight from KNX-PER.

Can you use points instead?

Definitely 737-800 with biz as one in our party booked J. I haven’t looked at a points upgrade as all my points were transferred to Singapore Airlines due to the bankruptcy.

I have also noticed this in the past week. I also note some flights won't display business class fares for purchase when searching. When you scroll across Getaway -> Elevate -> it just stops at Freedom. Particularly flights that are more than one leg.

Could be a glitch?

A change has gone through that Business Saver fares aren't available to book within four weeks of departure.
 
Anyone know how close until departure they wait to let one know if a waitlisted Y to J points upgrade is successful? Thanks.
 
Rather than a new thread I'll put this in here.

Back to flying VA after about 10 years as QF have lost the plot with pricing and service.

Have a flight next week with an UpgradeMe offer in just above the minimum. Seat map and dummy booking shows 2 seats free so might be OK... Earlier flights empty in J...

Should I check in online as soon as I can or wait ?

Any advice appreciated
 
When my upgrade bid has been successful, it's usually come through around T-24 to T-20. If there's still no outcome by then, I wait until T-4 before checking in online (or earlier if I can see that the business cabin is already full).
