SYD-LAX in J

Then just upgrade yourself.

Then, that would be 35 years of wedded bliss down the drain but a good trip none the less

Trying to get the kids to loan me the balance, that's if they can keep it to themselves!

I've found that in situations like this, getting the will out and ostentatiously hovering the pen over it while asking for a GIFT of points on the quiet works wonders. At the same time, muttering about how Fluffy the cat needs to be looked after when you pass on helps also.

That sounds a great idea upgrading, the only problem I have I may fall short of 45000 pts, any suggestions just used a lot of points on a run? Will have enough for one seat.

signup for ANZ plat visa, 40k ff points bonus, until 31 July?

Beaut. All we need now is the upgrades to clear and then - a trip report, please! :mrgreen:

Don't forget the old upgrade into F trick.

How about the not-so-conventional call up and "change booking" into F for a reasonably small amount of money trick ?
Has anybody tried this recently since the xASA changes ?

If you don't mind being a guinea pig, and suffering cheaply in F for the good of AFF , perhaps have a look here (if you haven't already): http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/qantas-frequent-flyer-program/book-jasa-now-upgrade-fasa-50981.html

Maybe someone like markis10 can provide a suitable script for the next phone call (assuming he believes the old system will still work).

No worries, up to you of course But there is plenty of evidence on other threads that some (?many) of the phone agents are simply un-aware of changes in the system and are giving out mistaken info to callers. That said, I'm not sure if it was ever possible in your particular situation, but the situation with Qantas call centres at the moment is unfortunately what my fellow members of Air Canada Aeroplan do with their phone agents who often as not don't know their own system or rules. HUATAA. (Politely) Hang Up and Try Another Agent.

How do you confirm 2x P class availability ?
Will they release them for you if you're a WP ? Or is that only for straight Classic Awards ?

WP release is for Classic Awards only, not (or shouldn't be) possible to book them as an ASA

How low is low priced exactly ?
I heard for SYD-HKG its like $250 per way ?
Would SYD/MEL-LAX be something like $400 per way ? Does anybody know ?

Ah ok, thanks for the info

If you read the thread that Rooflyer linked to a few posts back, the upgrade to F to LA was $990 (for one person)

if you give your current flight details,I can check expertflyer to see if any P availability on your flight (or surrounding days) if you like

hi "QF11 May 7th next, rang today to see if they would do a upgrade with points - pay, all she said was " one or the other" and that was it , but to be fair I am NOT too savvy as what to ask for .

Is that $990 for both legs i.e., return ?

I haven't booked my flight yet but once I do I will let you know via PM cheers for the offer.
