Complimentary or Operational Upgrade from QF J Award flight

[KSC]

Just wanting to know has anyone ever received a lotto like upgrade from a Qantas Business Classic Award flight to First Class via an operational or complimentary upgrade ?
Interested to hear stories and your status at the time.

Not exactly the same scenario, but I had a colleague booked in PE who upgraded to J with points and then at the gate was given opup to F. He was only QF Gold.
Never heard anything similar from anyone else so I assume it's exceedingly rare.

Not to F but some years ago +1 and self both upgraded from Y to J in SYD-SIN on awards. Was SG at the time, before WP was released.

Yes. We had op up from J award to F on LHR-asia a few years ago for 2 pax on the way back to MEL. We were both WP at the time.
