Walkabout Pass, Premium Economy

[justinn]

I am going to Australia from the US for 26 Days Feb 2016. I am looking at the Qantas Walkabout Pass for the fare option but I want to upgrade my Long haul JFK-SYD and BNE-JFK to Premium Economy. I spoke to the Airline and they said I would have to see the fare rules online to see if I can upgrade or call them to book. I also noticed that the fare rules state that there are no extra cost for routing changes.

Has anyone done the walkabout before or has any insight about class upgrades?

I've heard about the walkabout pass before, but I still don't exactly understand what it is?

This seems to be the fine print but it is very vauge
