Hello,
Husband and I are taking our first trip to Australia, and I'm terribly frightened about taking this long trip in economy. We're booked through a tour (Tauck), so I have a feeling that I can't get any upgrades unless I book through the tour company, and according to the Qantas web site, 2 business class tickets are over US$26,000. Ouch.
The plane is a 747-400 and we have seats 53H, J.
I have a bunch of points on USAirways, but I don't know if they can be transferred to Qantas for use on an upgrade, even if I could upgrade these tickets.
Can anyone give me any encouragement, tips, or hints to get more reasonably priced upgrades?
Thanks in advance for any ideas, and sorry if this has been asked/answered before. I looked through some posts but didn't find it.
Best,
judyinaz
