Tips needed to up chances of upgrade to London - ticket paid

Re: Tips needed to up chances of upgrade to London - ticket

Rather than ringing up, you can check your booking, including seat allocation by using Amadeus Check My Trip Website. Enter you booking reference (6 Character number starting with 2, Y or Z) and your surname as booked. Click "Enter" button. When the booking comes up you will see a little square with an orange background containing a '+'. Click on this and you will see if you have been allocated a seat; click on this and you can generally see an allocated seat map.

If you do not have any status, Pray :wink:

 

You can also check the status a waitlist on the QF FF web site under "My Bookings". But remember that since the May 25th changes, waitlists will not be cleared untoil checkin, so you are unlikely to know before you get to the airport.

The only things you can do to maximise the chance fo an upgrade waitlist clearing are:

• Have the waitlist application lodged by a Platinum FF member. If you are not platinum yourself but are related to someone who is, transfer your points to the Platinum status member using the family transfer facility and have them apply for the upgrade waitlist for you. Waitlists are processed according to the status of the person making the application.
• Choose a flight that is less likley to be filled with regular business travellers. That normally means avoiding Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday flights.
