Qantas touting for cash upgrades at gate?

[LondonAussie]

And do you get the additional status credits or just the ones for your original fare class?

Has this been confirmed?

BA’s cash airport upgrades used to earn QF SC’s at the upgraded cabin, was a great earner for many years, until a random unannounced change last year. Now only earn at the original cabin.

Had the same sign out at HND this week, we did get a points upgrade for 3, plus a couple other pax by the looks…there were 5 j seats empty in Expert Flyer the night before the flight, .but the J cabin was full when we boarded

Empty seats in the Expert Flyer seat map may just be unallocated.
You need to do a flight availability search to identify any remaining bookable places.
