Back on July 1st managed to get my family of 4 upgraded from economy to business on QF25 SYD - HND. Was not expecting it at all! I requested it from my bronze account, but my wife is gold. Worked out well because we were travelling from Melbourne via Sydney and it was the same day as Sydney "Bomb Cyclone" or whatever the media were calling it. Had our Melbourne to Sydney flight cancelled a few times and then we were on our way we ended up circling for over an hour. When we got to the international side of SYD boarding had already started. Once on the plane we had an hour delay (probably getting our bags across in the weather) but that was ok in the business class seats, felt sorry for the other PAX from MEL stuck in economy after that 2.5hr bumpy ride. On the plus side, didn’t realise if your connecting flight is business you could get into the domestic business lounge, made up for missing the international lounge in SYD.
