Just checked in Sydney to LA on QF149.
Booked in economy (B), walked away from the checkin... looked at the boarding pass to see where I was sitting... only to see I was sitting in 17A
and the pass has a beautiful grey stripe along the top.
An incredible, unasked for, not even mentioned to me,
operational upgrade to J.

The Sydney First Class Lounge is buzzing!
The porridge and the fruit fusion energy drink is fantastic, the service is fast and the staff actually smile!
Certainly makes up for the abysmal egg and bacon roll they served on the flight from Mel to Syd.

So, with getting an upgrade to upper deck J and being in the F class lounge I can only assume you are a WP, so if you fly that much, good on you for the op up.
Given that QF are down a 747 now, I imagine a few flights have had to be canned and there is quite a bit of shuffling fwd going on. Probably increases the op-up odds from 0.1% to 0.2%

I am fairly sure the upgrade was because Sydney is still choking with World Youth Day Pilgrims, the flight was full of them.
Given the dreadful delays caused by Qantas new check-in system, they were probably trying to free up economy seats to juggle people around.
Sadly my lucky day fell apart as the flight was 3 hours late into LA, connecting flights all gone and the replacement arrangements organized by ground staff were very badly handled to say the least.

You are really lucky for that.
I take it you were booked on a normal economy seat?
That's a 100% increase.
