Greetings all,

Does anyone know when QF increased their domestic points levels for upgrades - I got charged 8000 points for a discount economy to business upgrade on the Sydney - Melbourne sector, this only used to cost 5000 points.

Also, I have been trying to book an international upgrade on points but never any seats, does anyone know if these seats are from the general pool or from the same allocation as that given to frequent flyers in general?

Thanks in advance for any info!

James

The increases came into effect on the 1st of January 2004 - you should have got a booklet sent out to you outlining all the changes back in July 2003. Sounds like one didn't quite make it your way unfortunately.

As for international upgrades, they're taken from the same U class that Business Class Frequent Flyer redemptions are made in. Unlike the Business Class redemptions though, you can waitlist for an upgrade, and *most* times they'll be processed 2-3 days before the flight if there's seats available (but the waitlist is ordered by status first, then date of waitlisting is how I understand it - so better hope there's not too many Platinums and Golds ahead of you).

You might want to check out the Qantas board a bit further down for more information on all these sorts of topics, plenty of friendly people there happy to help!
