Re: Mystery of on-line upgrades

I bumped into a QF engineer recently and he was telling me he had to fly to LAX on an urgent flight, the only seat available was a spare jump-seat.

He tried to walk around as much as possible during that flight!

Surely he could have been in the crew rest area for some of the flight

Hmm... Qantas are still playing with their site and it's still not right.

Last week I upgraded some domestic segments of an international PNR to/from CNS.

The points were deducted and Qantas.com showed U class with successful upgrade request text. This was also reflected on CheckMyTrip and other relevent sites.

Until today!

I now see:
Quote:
[-] More flight info Note: Your upgrade from Sydney to Cairns has been declined.

Status: Confirmed

Upgrade status: undef
(BKGD.text.UpgradeStatus.G)

Class:
Business (U)

Flight Duration: 3h 10m
I am not worried as all indicators point to Business class. (including "confirmed" & "Business" on Check my Trip)

maybe they think they are declining a request to upgrade from Business Class to a non-existent cabin?
