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.

QF42 CGK-SYD SG+bronze. Declined at T9.

Was showing J6 until they switched and put a 26seat 332 and then it shrunk to zero. Bit of a surprise as the first three rows of whY was showing empty on EF leading up to the flight.

This thread is about using points for upgrades, most commonly classic upgrade rewards.

Normally Classic upgrades.

Free upgrades are meant to go in this op-up thread.
