flight upgrades

Had a weird one today. I've an Amex Velocity card, largely for the signon offer. When due to renew I've always rung up and tried to negotiate the annual fee to which the response has always been no way but we can downgrade you to the free Amex Discovery card. So I've done this (3 times now) and...

I've got an advantage reward booking in J coming up with SQ to Europe but can see waitlist availability in F from SYD to SIN (there's no F on the second flight). My question is does anyone know if it's possible to upgrade the SYD to SIN leg of the flight to F without cancelling my current...

Does anyone have any experience requesting / getting a classic upgrade after Qantas have rebooked flights as involuntary changes? I have an upcoming SYD to LHR flight that was rebooked by Qantas for 2 days later and I re-requested the upgrade online (W to J). Just wondering if anyone has had...

Hey Everyone, Apologies if this is a noob question. I'm flying QF 557 tomorrow evening (BNE > SYD) and requested a classic upgrade award from the red e-Deal ticket I purchased. I noticed that the upgrade hasn't cleared meaning that we've got a U0 for that flight. Upon checking ExpertFlyer I see...

Hello, I'm travelling to HNL at the end of May from SYD on a paid JQ Plus fare. I'm curious what upgrade options (if any) there are to move up to business class. In particular can one use points to upgrade the flight? What about cash? If I was successful in the upgrade how would the status...

I requested a Classic Upgrade Award for an A330 SYD - CNS flight, however unfortunately the flight's been swapped out for a 737 (I guess I probably should've seen this coming). This was confirmed instantly since there was Business award space remaining on the flight. Anyway, instinctively my...

Was wondering if anyone can help. I bought economy domestic tickets making sure that there was business classic reward seats available assuming I would be able to get an immediate upgrade if this was the case. I requested the upgrade using my points and a day later it still hasn't done...

Hello flyers! Booked in Flex Economy (H) on QF9 on 20/01/22, and just put in an upgrade to P.E and Business with points as a Gold FF, ideally hoping to score a business upgrade, but will settle for P.E.. Agent on the phone said there's no rewards seats available, but just wanted to gauge my...

Hello all, Myself and my Wife a both Platinum Velocy members, Looking to head to the USA for work in Febuary 2022, I have not kept up with what has been going on with Velocity and what we can and can not do anymore. But I did see we can book Delta flights with just points, But can we book a...

Good morning everyone. No doubt you'd remember someone else posted a little while ago about receiving an upgrade to Gold in the mail. Well a couple of hours ago I just got a similar offer upgrading me from Gold to Platinum - via email. I only hit Gold for the first time (since taking up an...

Currently, MEL to SIN flights don't offer PE. The system won't let you book Economy for MEL to SIN leg then PE on leg to Europe. (Crazy) So if book 100% Economy with a view to then trying to upgrade using points - can you select which specific legs you want to upgrade to PE ? Or have to do all ?

Did anyone else receive one of these Gold upgrades in the mail? Quite a lovely surprise for sure!

I was prevented from traveling to Darwin on 24 April this year due to a government lockdown. Qantas previously contacted me direct for a bid now upgrade which I was successful. I paid in points and cash direct to Qantas and in this transaction I am their customer. They are trying to tell me...

Are VA still sending out bag tags when you earn the next status level up? eg Red to Silver, Silver to Gold etc ...? If so, does anyone have any idea what their time-frame on this is like?

I’ve booked a domestic economy flight Red E-deal N. There are business seats showing to be booked with points. I have requested an upgrade. I thought this was done fairly quickly in the past but now QF told me over the phone that they will let me know within 7 days of the flight which is next...

I just tried to bid for upgrade with an Elevate fare and it was deemed ineligible. I’ve never had any fare not eligible for a bid for upgrade with Virgin before. Is there some new policy that only Freedom fares are eligible? This is for a flight from KNX-PER.
