[QUOTE="Ade, post: 2306353, member: 73036"] My experience is the same I'd say as OWE I got upgraded to Y+ on at least 60% of my flights on both directions. HKG-MAA or MAA-HKG. I have never got the upgrade at check-in, but always at the gate. Sometimes I ask at the check if if there are any seats for upgrade and they usually say "the load is very light today, so the chances are less", but when I get to the gate ... that's where the magic happens :) It's a great feeling when they scan the BP and it makes a sound and the red light flashes on the scanner and the LED reads "Seating Error" ... that's when you know you are being upgraded :) I'd say that's true ... I have seen on HKG-MAA route, the J seats are free on a lot of occasions ... simply because, the Y load is super heavy and overbooked, so those with CX status, OW status and Flex Y tickets holder get upgraded to Y+, leaving very little pax in J (those that have bought a J ticket or those with Flex Y+/status got upgraded as a result of the Y overbooking) [/QUOTE]
