Y was overbooked, J was completely full and there were just 2 seats available in F. So, guessing that 2 pax received a J-F and 2 received a Y-J upgrade including me. Apparently, there were 19 Golds travelling in Y. Given my mediocre tier and skyward miles balance, I have to assume that they used the alphabetical system for upgrades and having a surname starting with 'D' worked to my advantage
