Also, first op-up ex MEL last Sunday. Normally, I only ever receive them ex SIN.

EK are also running aggressive deals ex Australia so this should impact loads.

Now if we could only figure out the real upgrade process/criteria, we'd be happier...!!
That's a good offer. I flew EK from MEL to AKL in mid-March and received an email upgrade offer for AUD160 (a 4-hr flight). I went ahread but your offer is certainly more attractive as it's a longer flight.

No email upgrade offer on return journey though.
