So I don't get assaulted for veering somewhat off topic, never been upgraded since flying EK 10 months ago. I do have a question though, how often do 'unconventional' upgrades happen at EK at their out stations? I used to fly with another Middle Eastern airline and would (if there's availability) get upgraded by the Station Managers of the airline at various destinations when I get to speak with them/run into them at check in.
The only places where I've got upgraded consistently is Dubai and airports in India. I have never been upgraded from any airport in the UK in almost 40 flights over the last 5 years.
This is my experience from 2012.
Uk : op up rate 0% ( never had an op up in last 5 years)
Dubai : Op up rate Yto J when flying to India 100% ( but have only done this twice)
Op up rate J to F flying to India 33%
Op up rate Y-J flying to UK. 0%
Op up rate J-F flying to UK 50%
India : Op up rate Y to J flying to DXB 66%
Op up rate J to F flying to DXB. 0%
