Brisbane to Japan partner upgrade?

[darkice]

Hi all, thinking of buying the CX sales to Tokyo next year around April. The flight out is a red eye and was just wondering if its possible to upgrade to J with Qantas points or some other method? Was hoping to actually pay for the flights since its on sale and I have a flight centre gift card to use.

I'm Qantas gold if that helps.

Any ideas?

QF points can only go towards requesting upgrades on QF operated flights with a QF flight number.

Doh, I can see JAL flights for sale under QF banner on the website. Is my only option to try and find a CX through QF website(although didn't see any show up? Perhaps am doing it wrong?)

ahh nevermind.. QF1-200

QF doesn't codeshare with CX on Australia-Hong Kong flights.

Even where QF does codeshare with another airline on certain sectors (such as with JL) as mentioned before you can only request upgrades on flights that are both QF marketed and operated.
