QF74 Premium Economy?

[Paddy55]

Hi

Considering flying SFO-SYD on 24 Oct and travelling PE. However it looks like the flight is on a 2 class 747 with no F or PE

Do PE passengers get auto upgraded to J or is there a J/PE/Y config 747 that SeatGuru and Expert don't know about?

Thanks in advance
Paddy

Expert Flyer is currently showing a 4 class seatmap for that flight with Y+ occupying the downstairs J cabin.

Many thanks for the quick reply, and many thanks also for the great news... I'll be calling QF first thing in the morning

...bearing in mind that there are no guarantees in life - you may well end up in the Y+ seat you paid for - but that's pretty unlikely I'd say.

QF have downgraded passengers due to operational changes where no Y+ is available. This happened to me and I was sent a flight voucher for use in the future plus fare difference refunded. Don't know about a op-up to J, seems more unlikely. Good luck.

It would not be an op-up (unless W was full). It would be a J seat, Y+ service.

=Darn good value!

IMHO Qantas PE is not worth the upgrade, and only barely worth an OP up. Did it once on QF1, would never do it again.

Well given that Y+ does provide a bit more room and credits to AA as 1.5 Qpoints/mile - and provided QF doesn't get too greedy with the fare levels, it does beat traveling long distances in a plain Y seat.

And at least QF is offering a much higher level of OPups than traditionally.

YMMV - I can sleep in a recliner - some people can't

Pondering whether I should purchase a T class ticket on a flight almost certainly overbooked in Y......:?: or take the cheaper and shorter route which provides limited Qmiles.

If it is any help I have just booked a SYD-BNE-LAX, SFO-SYD flight 2 days ago for the 28th of August coming back a few days later on QF74 and have been allocated 38A (Y+)... O Class paid for (less than $1200AI).

Not so fortunate on QF15 going over, (47K) however for the purpose of a surprise weekend visit to Seattle I cant complain with the fare at such late notice.

Fingers crossed at BNE the machine at the gate makes a beep noise and a nicer seat is availed (although, content knowing I paid for Y and that is what I will probably end up with)

YMMV - I can sleep in a recliner - some people can't

And I can sleep upright in a moving bus on a seat with no recline.

Some of us are lucky we do not need to spend exhorbitant amounts of money lining airline coffers just to be able to sleep for a few hours. I could sleep almost anywhere if it meant I would save a few thousand dollars on the airfare. YMMV....
