I'm not sure how long I'll have before boarding is called on my next flight, so please forgive me if I only manage to type up part of the next flight before being interrupted.
SYDNEY to JOHANNESBURG (SYD-JNB) on Qantas 747-400 in business class
3 months ago I put in an upgrade request on the first day it opened. With low loads and my status I expected it would clear. I rechecked availability and even 36 hours before departure it looked good. However I was saved from the "will it or won't it clear" wait when the flight reverted from 3 class to a 2 class aircraft. Dang.
