Hi guys,
Travelling 21st August ADL to HKG and can choose between going via Melbourne and catching the 29 to HKG on an A330-300 or via Sydney with the 127 on a 380... Both are similar timings, cost etc, what choice would most likely get me a points upgrade to J from Y ?

Cheers
Sean
 
It depends on your status and how busy the flight is generally.
 
I'd be thinking QF127, just because the experience will probably be better than on an A330-300 whether you end up getting upgraded or not.
 
more J seats to get upgraded to on the 380 and also more popular than the 330 with a superior product.
 
The Frequent Flyer Concierge team takes the hard work out of finding reward seat availability. Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, they'll help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.

go 127. Recently flew to HKG, got upgraded on the A380 with points but rejected on the A330 coming back (via melbs)
 
I flew 127/128 in the 380 in the last 2 weeks. As a PS my J request cleared on 127 on a Monday, whilst my 128 request on a Friday night did not.

On the 380 there is also the option of Y+ as a fallback if you're so inclined
 
QF127 has only 22 J seats allocated looking at Expert Flyer (42 free), and 10 free in PE. So fairly open still.

QF29 has only 4 J seats allocated out of 30, so not heavy either at this stage.
 
Upgrade chance on either flight is a lottery so based on that if I paid for an economy ticket I'd 100% go with the 388 ex SYD.
 
Thanks guys, unfortunately wasted your expertise this time around, CX just released J seats on the date I need adl/hkg so that made the decision a little easier!
