I started the year well with 5 out of 5 op-ups out of SIN (to MEL). Missed the last 2-flights but the loads were not full in Y.

Flying out of MEL today back to SIN and first time in 12-months received an op-up to J, but flight is full and loads out of MEL on the 405 are solid for the next 4 days or so.

My op-up history in the past 12-months with EK points to EK's policy of upgrades on the routes I fly, all dependent on load and nothing else.
