The Operational Upgrade Thread

[HirafuHeartAttack]

Randomly got an op up with my partner on SYD-HBA (In Sept 2022). Was in J lounge and checked boarding passes. Moved from some random Y seats to 2D and 2F. Flight was full but very lucky as a WP and Silver to get that I think.
Nothing like it has happened on 60 odd flights since...

Rekindling this thread with an op-up on CX for the two of us TPE-HKG from Y to J.

Nice of CX to show generosity to OWE. They said it was a very full flight.

And the love from CX keeps on coming.

Apart from an odd upgrade from QF (they once put a 747 onto Syd Bris to move a weekend rugby test crowd and we ended up in the nose..), CX are the only airline from which I could ever regularly expect a bump-up..

Back in the days when they had F from Aust (I was OWE and frequently to HK with them) it was a delicious game to approach the boarding gate in Mel or Syd with a CX biz BP and see what happened when it was scanned - oh dear, the light went red, computer says 'no' ... and with a little smile the agent smoothly replaces my BP with a shiny new F one..

The flights up were daylight, the returns overnight and always too short for the service v. sleep conundrum.

Pleased to hear CX continues the practice..

In the very early days of QF/EK partnership as a QF plat you rarely flew economy on EK
