Hi all,
My partner and I are traveling to Europe in late August on Qantas classic reward flights, flying Emirates via Dubai. We have in economy for the first leg and business for the second leg. I'm considering an attempt to upgrade the first leg to Business (its our honeymoon after all).
I called Qantas earlier and they said that the only path was to use points. They also mentioned that I cant do it online myself. The guidance was to check regularly online to see if any classic reward flights for the first leg become available, and then call back.
Has anyone had any luck with this approach? Not sure if its going to be a waste of effort or if Qantas may release more seats at the last minute.
Also, would any bid now or upgrade at the gate options be open as a last resort?
Thanks!
