The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

[torks]

I'm flying QF1 next week all the way through from SYD to LHR. Is it possible to select different seats for each segment, or will I need to ask at check-in or in the lounge? Looking at ExpertFlyer, there is more availability on the SIN-LHR segment, but I online I appear to only be able to select seats based on availability across both segments.

Similarly, how do upgrades work on this flight? Assuming it's possible to be upgraded on one segment but not the other?

TIA

Once you have checked in you can change your seat via the app for each segment individually and thus have different seats for each leg.

Thank you. So it's not possible before check-in? Is it worth calling?

Would stand out to the Japanese, maybe its a play on the fare class we know so well.
Would probably only appear on the QF Japan website.

Hi all, Flying MEL-LAX on Saturday. Paid via FFP. Have applied for upgrades to Premium Economy, 2 seats, 76,000 Pts each.

I can see in Gyoza the plane has plenty of room, so fingers crossed for the upgrade.

Question: Online Check-In - Should I Check in or NOT check in - is either more beneficial in getting the Upgrade?

Any thoughts/experience out there.

Fingers crossed...

It makes no difference to upgrade chances, so go ahead as you normally would

Just tracking my flight, seems the 330 for MEL - SYD QF440 came in as a SYD - MEL QF427. So it's not really a positioning flight.

Anyone know why there's a 330 bounce between syd - mel - syd. Thought the 330 fleet is so thin right now the extra time as maintenance would be better spent in SYD.
