I was on CX MNL-HKG this morning. No upgrade as already J in 2-class 777.300. FSD made a point (as I have found they nearly always do) of introducing herself to me and the usual blah blah. I observed she only did so for 3 of us in a full cabin of 40 pax. So we must all have been OW Emerald, whether Marco Polo, QF or whatever.

Appreciated it and the crew was more attentive, e.g. only person around me who was spoken to by name.

I felt upgraded! Thanks CX.
