In theory, could people be "reassigned" seating if the ticket fare rules stated "ECONOMY CLASS"?
I'm starting to wonder this part below was a fat finger typo, since the A and Q keys are pretty close to each other..

Curses. It would have been a huge pain to fly to SYD-SFO SFO-MEL-SYD-SFO on the "mistake" and then SFO-SYD again... but just think of the SC! Just one loop of that and I'd have made the 600SC for QF Gold.

As one who constantly has SC on the brain, I thought about that. However, there's not much status credit for discount economy (Q) fares (the fare purchased) as opposed to the status credit for A (first), which is the class of service flown (hopefully!)...

'Uplifting', other than the well-established intransitive verb, and the adjective meaning inspiring, is *certainly* not an Aussie term. I suspect it is a rather inventive management-speak term for 'allowing to board and then providing carriage to'.
I certainly hope they will "uplift" us, as I am somewhat buoyed by the thought of a cheap first class fare

Anyway I hope this gets honored and congrats to you lucky ones!

If they want to reap the productivity savings of automated processes, sometimes they just need to accept the mistakes that flow from them.

"Uplifting" is when they place you in coach but provide an amenities pack featuring a pushup bra for female passengers and a pair of extra support briefs for the male ones

I believe something similar came up with AA/BA fares being sold on AA.com MIA-LHR-Africa that were showing as F for BA.com but were only Y fares for BA. BA downgraded the pax at check-in. This was about two years ago and there was a thread on it. I forget AA's response.

I think we all are! Haven't checked completely, but I don't think anyone volunteered that they were flying before Feb. Anyone in Jan?

all I can say is "wow". I wasn't following FT transactions during/after dinner last night. don't really have time to traipse off to AU but this might have been worth the hassles.
oh well, hope all those who booked get their F seats and have a good trip
