Yesterday I booked a Go fare + blue zone on sale for perth-melbourne flight. Travel in March. Red-eye overnight flight.
Realised after the fact that I should use points to upgrade. Didnt realise cant do that from Go fare.
Extra $80 (change fee waived - bonus) on top of already paid Go+Blue zone put me in flexi-saver after confiirming upgrade seats available.
9900 points later I now have J seat for overnight flight.
Note that QF wanted $299 for red e-deal seat, and no upgrade buckets left on their red-eye so happy days!
Phone assistant super helpful sorting it all out for me. That was the really great part - couldnt have been happier, and more helpful. No doubt also under a bit of pressure today with the rain in SEQ. Answered quite quickly considering too.
Virgin - if you keep this up, you're getting so much more of my flying (off a base of zero!).
Only downside is it'll be a 738 not a 330. Still better than Y. Pray for A330 sub (ok, not likely).
