I'm planning SYD-LHR return with a stopover in each direction (SIN & BKK) and currently trying to find the best way to do this.
I always want to use QF where possible to try and do upgrades but something else has occured to me that might be worth trying:
The current BA deals where you get upgraded in one direction from SYD-LHR are great (for the direction you're lucky to be up'd) but I wonder if this is proving popular and with the low number of WT+ seating available on most flights, they must be giving a few op-up's to high status customers in order to do this?
So I thought I may have some luck if I bought a WT+ return with BA and take the free upgrade to J one way. In the other direction if enough people have bought their WT tickets under this deal then they might need to bump me up to J again! I'm OW emerald so after the BA Golds I'm fairly high in rank...
any thoughts on this? anyone seen this happen?
If I don't book it this way I will just do QF all the way and hope for upgrades to clear.
