Hi,

I used to travel with EK alot within 9 months I racked up Gold status. With this status I claimed a UK-DXB rt ticket with points, a J class upgrade with points and a few UK hotel stays. I relocated back to the Republic of Ireland a few years back and my EK use became non-existent. My travel concentrated on EY/BA/DL and EI. With the Dublin service in full swing I am going to try and get my status back, as it is now Blue. Now I have booked a Y saver ticket and with the newly upgraded 777 service to DUB what are my chances of a cheeky upgrade with EK? would I be seen somewhere as a returning customer of some description or am I clutching completely at straws?!

Thanks!
