Priority Waitlisting
I'm trying to work out if the benefit that Qantas offer with regards to Upgrade waitlisting is really worth it?
Can I get a prority Upgrade waitlisting for International/Domestic Flights if I'm higher up the food chain for my membership status?
If so, How far out can I make the waitlist
and long will it take to be confirmed on the flight?

For those of us in the SF Bay Area familiar with Herb Caen, this would be termed "an unclear on the concept"....

Hmmmm. I have a suspicion that the clever subtleness of the two earlier responses will be lost on the original poster.
So, to Mr Earn: your questions would be more promptly and correctly answered if you were to post them to the Qantas forum. Most of us United flyers here on the United forum know very little about the intricacies of flying Qantas.

Well this Priority Waitlist question is about UA!!
We are using the 100K award for First from LHR to HNL in Sept.We are on the Priority Waitlist for some sectors and we wondered if it also clears on status as other awards.
Our trip is LHR to SFO Conf 1st on 9.00am flight and Coach SFO to HNL at 4.30pm. We are Priority Waitlisted for 2.45pm LHR to HNL with a much shorter connection and wondered if there was a chance of this clearing? We are both Premiers!!
Return is OK as we are Conf 1st KOA to LAX and confimed in Business LAX to LHR and on the list for 1st.
Ps What happens if some of the sectors don't clear- Do you get a refund of some of the miles??
Many thanks
Alan & Louise
