I'm Plat, does anyone know what the odds are of upgrade clearing?
I'm not familiar with the upgrade process.
Regarding the service, it was my first flight with QF, so I can't tell much as I don't have any benchmark. As many mentioned, the food is nothing over the top, but the service (at least in my case) was absolutely fantastic! I think it also depends on how full the cabin is.
If you have extra miles to spare and knowing for sure you get the old config, I think it's worth the upgrade (again I don't even know how much it costs), especially for 15 hr flight.]
Cheers!
