Qantas Bid Now
Has anyone had any luck or have insight on the Qantas bid now process? I am flying next month and was hoping to upgrade from Business to First Class using bid now. I am not a Qantas frequent flyer but platinum on American.
Not sure if J to F is possible, all articles about it seems to mention upgrading to J.
That said it’s an invitation system. Aka don’t email us, we will email you 7 days before travel.
Lucky wrote a blog post about it earlier this year.
