I have been following the forums but its my first time posting so hello everyone! I was just wondering if anyone might be able to help me out.
Basically I have a BME-PER-SYD flight in December and I paid for a V ticket. I have only joined FF frequently so I'm only a Bronze member, even though I travel Qantas multiple times a year. After reading around here and looking at cabin upgrades, I was under the impression that it was difficult for low status FF's to get upgrades and even then upgrades were not confirmed until very late in the scheme of things (like 24 hours before the flight). Nonetheless, I requested an upgrade for the PER-SYD sector and straight away it said it was confirmed and the points were deducted.
I was just wondering is this common or is there a completely different process for domestic sectors? Wouldn't higher status flyers get higher priority when it comes to U seats? And also is there any chance that this 'confirmed' seat will be taken by a higher status member who requests an upgrade?
Thanks all
