Jetstar Classic Upgrades

[Mattg]

Qantas announced yesterday that Classic Upgrades (fixed-price points upgrades) will launch on Jetstar next month.

This is probably worth its own thread.

Pricing at launch will be 37,000 Qantas Points on MEL-SIN (this is a route between 3,601-4,800 miles) or 45,300 points on SYD-KIX (a route between 4,801-5,800 miles. I can't see a full pricing table yet though.

This will initially only be for flights booked on Jetstar.com, with upgrades on QF codeshares to be added later.

At least seems better value than the Points - Pay offerings as part of BidCash.

Question is in what order and when are these processed.

I found it interesting that there doesn't seem to be any alignment between existing CR upgrade charts and these new prices. If you get a hold of some of the cheap MEL-SIN fares (~$214 I've seen), then an upgrade to effectively PE for 37k points + normal taxes and fees doesn't seem too bad. Although I also wonder if there's fare class restrictions or something (have to book a bundle etc)

Interestingly, you get the full checked baggage allowance on an upgraded ticket as well as a carry on for the overhead bin.

Is this confirmed upgrades or waitlist?
