Would checking in online increase the odds? Remember, they assume that there will be noshows up till departure. And someone who checks in online, has a lower probablity of being a noshow, along with the fact that am starting the journey in DXB. I have gotten opups at the gate on previous occasions despite an OLCI... never seen an OLCI upgrade though.

On another note, in the past two months have received about eight opups, I fly out every weekend to BKK or HKG. All opups were at the gate in Dubai, barring one, which was on teh plane HKG>BKK>DXB ... was told to get my ... to F after teh plane landed in BKK
