I was flying Hervey Bay to Sydney a couple of weeks ago and since I will be cutting back on flying soon plus I had booked a flexi Y fare, I called VA to ask if I could use one of my free upgrades on the flight. They told me that there was no J cabin on the E90 so I could get row 1. This was after I had done OLCI so my boarding pass still said row 3. When I checked in at the airport I told them about this and they told me oh this plane will have J so you will be on row 3, but then I asked if I could upgrade and they have me a FCNA upgrade in the end which was pretty nice. There was no catering ex-Hervey Bay so it was really just the bigger seat.
