Qantas upgrades
Hey team,
Is there any way to guarantee an upgrade using Qantas FF points? I want to book a biz class ticket or at least upgrade my parents but I want to lock it in. I have 739500 points and they will fly SYD-YYZ-FCU-SYD in august/sept this year. Have I just left it too late? Many thanks, Coco |
There is no way to guarantee an upgrade on an international flight like that. If you want to guarantee business class, you need to purchase it
Using Qantas points you need to waitlist for the upgrade and see if it clears |

You can purchase the J tickets via points immediately (locked in) but this is not an upgrade, but rather a purchase, which is far higher than the cost in points
for an upgrade. Have not checked the going rate, but you have a few points, so maybe this is available? But it is a horrendous use of points... |

I wouldn't be saying that it is far higher; from discount economy an upgrade is 98,100 for SYD-LAX whereas it is only 108,400 for a business award ticket

Also - careful - I think you cannot upgrade using points from a discount economy fare. Cheers, juddles |
