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 <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />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 <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />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)</blockquote>
