In short, I am happy to go to Hong Kong, but not if I can't use points to upgrade.
I suppose I'm asking is pre confirmation of an upgrade being available possible when the Economy seat is booked?
QF points upgrade does not clear prior to departure - it won't clear into business classic reward inventory in advance like many other airlines do.
QF is struggling a little bit on HKG as of late. Load isn't very good. What dates are you looking at? In general you have a pretty good chance nowadays.
