Went to the CS desk and they informed me that there were seats in U and X which were the ones I needed however there was nothing they could do, I would have to ring 131211. Did that at 8.00am and was told that yes, there were seats in that class HOWEVER because I had commenced the journey there was no way it could be changed.

Bit disappointing really, couldn't they stretch the rules a little bit? I coughed up 200000 points for business all the way - seems a bit rich that I can't do it because the journey has already commenced!

Anyhow...

PP
was 200k for 2 people?

if not why didnt you order 2 awards tsv-syd in bus for 45k and syd-sin in F for 125k still under the 200k! or syd-sin for 100k making the whole trip 145k?

Yes the no upgrade after first seg commenced is a p+++ off when they have your hard earned points already. even a 5k penalty would be worth it!
