Sitting in Qantas Club at CNS, waiting for return flight to BNE for the 15 Status Credits needed to re-qualify as Gold Qantas Frequent Flyer for another year. Thought to start a Thread devoted to Upgrades (stories, tricks, tips, etc.), so will share one to start:
3 August 2006, SYD-BNE QF737-800. Pre-departure, on plane, in 4C, headphones on, minding my own business. Flight Attendant came up, asked if I'd mind moving seats. Didn't particularly want to move back, but said "yes", and was told to take a seat in business class (there were four seats available in row 3). After I was seated, the FA then went to the person seated in 1B, and said "seat 4C is now available for you". Why this person wanted to downgrade simply to sit in 4C will forever remain one of life's little mysteries.
TRUE STORY!!!
