Given the loads I posted earlier, I was surprised to see the way the flight actually turned out in the end. Just goes to reinforce that neither seat map nor bucket availability are good indicators of the true nature of a flight's loads.

Hey Ben, since you never posted the actual flight nobody could help you on op-up odds in advance, or track the flight loads/lists live. Given that, your goal from the first post was to be bumped up to BizElite (or, one would guess, codeshare equivalent). Did you get that w the KLM flight? Or did you get other compensation to make up for still being in coach? You left us hanging!
