Question re: requesting upgrades on a Flex Y domestic ticket as SG.

As SG on a Flex CBR-ADL and could not request upgrade 90 mins (approx) prior to departure. Ticket was booked thru work TA, who confirmed that there is no restriction to request upgrades etc.

1. Google AI Overciew tells me that the windows to request upgrade closes 5 hours before departure
2. QF website says 3 hours before boarding
3. I thought if the pax is WP and above, they can request upgrade in the lounge until boarding is announced. Is there something similar for SG?

Which one of the above is true - any thoughts please? Thanks in advance.

Any lounge member - qantas club upwards - can request an on departure upgrade. This is within three hours of departure.

If available, they will be confirmed instantly.

Perhaps no availability in your case?

Perhaps. I got the “you are not eligible” error. Could also mean no availability I guess ?

You [may] need to request the on departure upgrade in the lounge. Have you checked EF to see what's still open?

Didn’t have access to EF, so couldn’t check. But out of the 9 J seats onboard E190 only 4 were occupied, rest were empty.
