I am thinking of doing this purely for the bag allowance and the better status credits for partner airline Virgin Australia. I have a couple of questions, however.
There are two of us and we are booked in H fare econ one way and used our HA miles for the return leg (only because they were expiring and we have so little anyway).
So if we did do the F upgrade at check in, what fare type would they usually book the F seat into? I guess what I really need to know, is it going to be into an F fare bucket or still in Y but as an upgrade. If its not booked into F fare bucket, then not really worth it to me for the status credits.
