Just wanted to canvas opinion on people's experiences getting upgrades on QF compared with CX. Recently flew to Paris via HK on CX; my travelling companion asked for upgrades on CX using Asiamiles points on the day of travel, and received upgrades to J on both occasions. Both of us thought it would've been extremely uncommon to obtain an upgrade to J on a QF flight at short notice.
Generally, I've had reasonable luck with requested and op upgrades on QF. Been Platinum for 7 years now, which I'm sure helps, though overall, my impression that QF is stingier than CX with upgrades (both requested and op). That all said, I would fly >100 flights a year on QF and 2 per year on CX (maybe a couple more), so the sampling may well skew my impressions.
What do others think? Are upgrades more likely on CX than QF, or am I talking through my hat?
