Can award tickets be upgraded with OneUp?
I have a friend that had the privilege of paying for others so had heaps of APD but Jade status. He used his APD for a pair of award tickets with grabaseat to Singapore return. Is he able to apply for OneUp?
Cheers.
Cheers.

The only exclusions for ticket types are "If you will be travelling on Companion tickets, Star Awards tickets, travel industry tickets, or tickets that you have won in a prize or promotion ". From that I would infer that you will be fine it you have purchased the fare with APD.

As I mentioned above F class fares (GAS) are ineligable for upgrades. F class isn't sold on TT flights even those sold on the GAS booking engine, but is commonly used on heavily discounted longhaul GAS fares.

F class has historically always been ineligible for all upgrades. F is still ineligible for RU's and APD upgrades but they've obviously decided at some point to allow OneUps since these are cash upgrades, and they can clearly just decline them if they don't want to accept them.
