I used Qantas Staff Travel on QF1 to London 17 November and back on QF2 on 25 November. All went smoothly except for the upgrade process out of Darwin in both directions. Upgraded to business ex Sydney but left in economy ex Darwin on QF1, got on board to discover there were 3 seats free in premium economy. Spoke to the CSM and ground staff and they put me in a premium economy seat. On QF2 ex London upgraded from premium economy to business at the gate. Ex Darwin same thing happened where I remained in premium economy but the seat to had from London in business was still free. The system wouldn't allow the ground staff to upgrade me into that seat. The ground staff spoke to the CSM and they allowed me to remain in the seat I had from London.
There was no problem with onload onto all flights as there were a lot of economy seats available.
