Upon reviewing my original post, I meant to say that EK GOLD status is pretty useless on flights to/from the USWC when in paid business. If in Y, it gives you a great chance of an op up - agreed.
Pfft!!!!!

Op-ups from USWC are a joke.... If your last name doesn't start with A - D.

I am 0 for 1 on Y and 0 for 7 on J with op-ups from the USWC. Then again my last name starts with a W.
