Good evening all
First time poster so lets not be too harsh hey.
So, I have been researching flights to Tokyo Narita departing Brisbane. In the Asia sale prices are listed as $1049; they are available at the other BR place for $745 (excluding currency cost).
I have made a dummy booking and confirmed that the fare is "O" bucket. I have also checked the Qantas upgrade calculator and found that discount economy 'O' fare is upgradeable to business for 40,000 points; fyi the equivalent business class is listed at $4199, I could find no cheaper alternative at the other BR place.
Given that I would like to visit Tokyo (not considering alternative destinations) I would like your opinions on the merits of upgrading to business for 40,000 points? also what are my chances of being upgraded? What other considerations should I make? I am currently NB but expect to be SG at least by the time I travel.
Your feedback would be very much appreciated. Many thanks.
