2011
Origin: Melbourne; Dest: Canberra; Upgrade: economy > business; Travel Date: 2011-02-20; Details: Personal travel from Melbourne to Canberra in return from a wedding on 20/2/11.

Is that what Qantas told the passengers and that is why the upgrade was offered? And was this fact necessary to justify the upgrade for the register?
