Considering my ticket was 320 return, plus I paid 120 to upgrade to WTP on the 787 on the way there, nice cabin.

Believe me I was amazed

My very first upgrade on BA ever and only my second ever upgrade despite over 1,000 hours in the air...

EuroTraveller to Club Europe on DUB-LCY on Saturday morning. I enjoyed the breakfast, it has to be said. Not bad since I was on an O class hand baggage only fare that cost me €49! At least one other person was upgraded as well.

Today going LHR-ARN, app changed when I left lounge. Upgraded ET-->CE. Hopefully this won't kill my chances on my remaining long haul flights, but who knows how this mysterious system works... Flight jam packed, even got a text and email offering to check my carry on free of charge.

Upgraded when boarding from ET to CE on BA393 BRU-LHR yesterday.

Full flight, OW Emerald via IB Plus. Quite surprised as this was a very cheap ticket.

First ever upgrade! ET to CE on tonight's LGW-EDI. There are 4 rows of CE but only 3 pax including me. Giddy as a kipper at being upgraded

Third CW > F in 3 months, this time on BOM>LHR - I've definitely used up all my credit now!
Hard sell at check-in to see if I wanted to pay, but 500 didn't seem worth it for me. Refreshed the app in the lounge and 16K had turned into 4A. Very much appreciated after a long and tiring 2 week work trip to India.

ET-CE on this morning's CPH-LHR. First revenue flight as Gold. Flight was packed and everyone I saw in the lounge was also in CE so I assume there were few status passengers. When I looked on ExpertFlyer in the morning there were 2 seats in Club blocked but in the end all were used.

Lovely long trip to get an upgrade to F on, and given it's usually a very busy F route - a really treat!
Enjoy!!!
