With the latest version of the Qantas apps, comes the ability to use ‘ODPU’ – standing for On Departure Points Upgrades.
This will allow eligible members to upgrade last minute – eg at the departure gate, via the app.
Platinum One, Platinum, Gold and Qantas Club members with a paid and confirmed ticket can request a domestic On Departure Upgrade Reward at domestic Australian Qantas Club lounges (except QantasLink lounges). Platinum and Platinum One Frequent Flyers can also request an upgrade in domestic Australian Business lounges.
You may request a Domestic On Departure Upgrade from three hours before scheduled departure until boarding commences on Qantas operated services with a QF flight number on your ticket (excluding QF1-299) For full details on domestic On Departure Upgrade Rewards, see the terms and conditions.
Qantas may occasionally have to restrict this facility on some routes or under special circumstances (for example, where there is an unexpected disruption to services resulting in heavy demands on Qantas Club personnel).
For more information, ask at The Qantas Club Service Desk.
At Domestic Check-in Kiosks
Qantas Club members and Platinum and Gold Frequent Flyers can also choose to request domestic On Departure Upgrade Rewards at Domestic Check-in-Kiosks, where available, when travelling alone.
