We returned today, unpacking, and preparing (only me) to Vegas...
BKK -> TLV, 2 empty seats on the flight, no upgrades...
Either GL/PL/TPLs dont fly any more, or again, my "feeling" that they try to save on upgrades in order to offer them as OB is starting to be seen more and more.

I have alreadyd discussed with 3 EL-AL CEOs in the past on the fact that if you have an empty seat in business it wont cost anyone to take someone from economy (even GL ok K Class) and put him on business, They will gain a very happy customer - Only Shkedi said he is willing to think about it, but it wont happen tomorrow...
seeing what happens in KohSamui, i indid feel lucky !
hope your trip wasn't interupted by the rain !

about upgrading GL on K to biz - it won't cost them, but it will make other people paying full fare to be upset. and maybe more people will decide to take a chance with an upgrade instead of paying for C beforehand.
