Question How loaded is TLV route usualy meaning to ask what are the chances of upgrades for SL

Is the TLV route often overloaded (as my experiance with my last flight), meaning that even ST silvers have a good chance of being upgraded?

As a gold member I have often not been upgraded when Y was overbooked, solely due to the fact that there were plenty Plat's on board as well. In other words; I dont give you many chances.

Everything could happen but from my personal experience I would not at all expect anything. Out of the last 100 or so KL flights I have been upgraded twice.

You're last 100 flights to TLV, or last 100 flights to all destinations?

Do they have any plans to put a 777 on the route again at some point like they did in the summer?

I think that that was more due to the situation in Cairo as the B777 that operated the Cairo flight was switched with the B739 that flies to Tel Aviv.

I hear that they managed plenty of times to fill up the B777.
