Upgrade Saver to Business = Flexible?

[swylie]

Hi everyone,

Did a search but couldn't find an answer.

Does anyone know, if I have a Super Saver ticket with QF, and upgrade with points to Business (domestic), will I attain the flexibility of a business class fare in terms of being able to change the flight on departure?

Possibly a cheaper alternative to purchasing a Flexi Saver, which in this case is 3x the price...

I would imagine that there is a clause in there somewhere that says that all the rules of the underlying booking still apply....

But I hope I'm wrong!

The fare rules of the purchaed fare applies

And not only do the fare rules of the purchased fare apply, so to does availability for the class you have moved into - Award U if you are talking upgrade to business domestically.

Hypothetically, if you had started with the flexi-saver, and the flexibility of that applied, if you wanted to retain the Business class upgrade, you would require U class availability on the flight you were trying to move to.

Adding an upgrade (or any other change, other than paying $$) in general will only ever decrease your flexibility.
