PER to SYD on Qantas. Upgrade worth it

[gaz0303]

Hi all,

I'm travelling on the midnight flight from Perth to Sydney QF568. The plane is an A330-200 with the seat map on Qantas showing the plane as either VH-EBM or VH-EBN (based on not having row 43 seats?). Can anyone confirm what style business seats are on this flight (its doesn't look like the seats with the middle seat covered but still a domestic layout) and if so, is it worth upgrading to business on this flight?

I'm only interested in sleeping on this flight.

Does this flight end up having enough empty seats in economy to spread out?

Cheers

QF568 is not usually the Skybed Mark I as it would have to be the config 36/199 where on the seat map for J there is a galley between rows 3 & 4 so in effect you have two mini J cabins with rows 1-3 in the first then rows 4-6 in the second.

The cost in points to upgrade IIRC it's 16,000 from discount Y to J or 10,000 from flexi to J.

I'd be tempted to upgrade to J if by chance that flight was the 332 intl config or the 333 intl config, otherwise I'd just make do with whY and save the points.

The seat map for EBM/EBN is below:

If it's a fresh A330 regardless of DOM or INT config: Yes. Anything else: Don't bother.
