Do QANTAS hold seats for platinum in f'ward J cabin on A380?

Thanks Matt - i'll definitely keep checking and keep a keen eye on it in that final week. I'd imagine people in that section are the most likely to have requested an F upgrade so fingers crossed. Still can't decide if I should upgrade or keep saving those points. Tough decisions eh?

AJ - for what it is worth, if you have the points, have not flown F and no set plan to use them put in for an upgrade. 7 weeks out you may not get the upgrade, if it does not come through you still retain your points. As a P1 I have been up graded 7 days out with points, free at departure, and on the odd occasion not at all. It will all depend on how full the plane is and those requesting upgrade from economy to P economy, P economy to Business and Bussiness to First..

All the best with your trip

I've flown it once before but tend to be in J. I can see myself opting to try for an upgrade to be honest. Thanks for all the feedback :)

I had QF11 and QF12 at the start of July. Booked in W with upgrades into J clearing in both directions.

Got the upgrade notice ~30 hours out and went into seat selection as soon as I saw it.

QF11 had all the forward J seats taken. QF12 didn't and I got one of the seats I like. (I am platinum)
