Just my luck i did a MR on QF too soon so not included in the promo. At least on the bright side I only missed out on 8K points since return was via HNL

Oh, pro tip for anyone east of the Rockies: the FA noted that even the A380 is generally weight-limited on the DFW-SYD flight, so if you book in the Y cabin on that flight and play your cards right, you may have a decent chance of getting an empty seat next to you.
I heard the same as well about weight restriction getting people sets of 3-4 alone. I found the 787 is roomier than A380 & 747 though. I was lucky and ended up with empty middle on all 3 legs JFK-LAX-SYD-HNL
The big mistake was booking same flight number JFK-SYD as I could not select seats. Thank god for MVPG lounge access as I was able to move to row further up with the empty middle.
