[QUOTE="Medicus, post: 2339418, member: 69462"] International upgrades to J avoiding PE Can I ask for peoples thoughts? (mod please move to different thread if appropriate...) I have a return trip ADL-DFW-ADL (in Y) for work at the end of May 2022. Simplest option on outbound is ADL-SYD-DFW. Happy to buy a sale fare for this leg as it leaves midafternoon and I can cope with Y on the leg to DFW. The return trip I would like to upgrade to J, but I don't want to end up in PE. This happened last time I put in a request for Y-> J on the A380 from DFW to SYD got an on-departure upgrade to PE instead. (It was pre-covid) I didn't like the PE seat and I got very little sleep. I thought it a waste of points. I am WP and my questions are: 1) What do people think my chances are/would be of getting the upgrade straight from Y to J on the DFW-SYD flight on a Wed evening departure? It's a B789, (28 PE seats and 42 J seats) 2) Am I more likely to get the upgrade if I route via LAX and BNE? The LAX-BNE leg is showing as an A330. (no PE cabin, 28 J seats). Getting an upgrade to J via BNE is more likely I think, but it's obviously a longer overall trip and has an extra leg. I'd be interested in peoples thoughts and experiences. Price is essentially the same flex fare either routing on the return leg Thank you in advance. Medicus [/QUOTE]
