Qantas Courtesy Upgrade Love

[Beano]

I mostly fly at peak times so planes heavily loaded with full J, so don't give much hope on an op-up.

PS. Checking the seats in J when you are booked in Y and hoping for an op-up definitely make you a frequent flyer! (another thread on AFF)

Flew domestic this morning, myself WP and a CL next to me. Two spare seats in J - they flew empty. Guess it's a lucky dip!

False hope at T-3?

Seems sad they're not offering premium econ to business, why the heck not!?

DP: I've flown a couple of MEL/SYD/MEL trips in the last fortnight as a single pax and haven't had any joy. One of the sectors had a very empty J cabin, but I think the others were ~80% full.

Clearly upgrades aren't guaranteed even with space available - what other criteria are QF using?
