My only DOM upgrade was in 1996 when flying on the 6am Sunday MEL- SYD Ansett flight in a 767-200 in order to connect with the then one flight per day to Wellington, NZ.
All 12 passengers were asked if they would sit at the front in J by the flight crew, many of whom had come straight to work from the Desperate and Dateless Ball. As I remember they served the J champers and OJ before take off , but served the standard Y breakfast.
My only other recent upgrade was nearly free, when my wife and I were flying to Paris via PER and SIN. QF rang us up a few days prior to our flight offering us an upgrade on the PER-SIN leg for a nominal points value, much less than the published points upgrade.
