Yeah, cheers. I noticed the PE prices going up hourly for the evening flight. Not sure why they don't put on a 777 for this route as I bet it's a great revenue generator with the FIFO's cash rich and looking for a bit of comfort. I'll see what I decide to do - maybe just get suitably anaesthetised in the Perth Lounge (haven't been to the new one) and bear the cheap seats if all else fails.
I used to fly this leg quite often back in the late '80's/early '90's in a British Airways 747. Top deck was often Y Class and those were the days when you could get the odd cockpit visit in.

Route: AKL-PER
Class Upgrade: Y-PE
Type of Upgrade: RU
Status: Gold
Status: Unconfirmed
Date: November 2nd
Route: PER-AKL
Class Upgrade: Y-PE
Type of Upgrade: RU
Status: Gold
Status: Unconfirmed
I booked paid PE for Mum same flights but need to use my RU's somewhere (lost one when Silver to Gold). Not very confident about PER-AKL as apparently PE fairly full but I'll be peed off if neither clear - have called and "joined" bookings to see if helps.
My ticket is Wgtn-PER return, Mum's was multistop (AKL-PER-PER-WGTN) and the PE was a well priced add-on (< $200 per leg as I recall).
Can't upgrade my cabin online PER-AKL (maybe as I've lodged RU?) which probably my best option.
Will see what happens unless any ideas anyone.
