Upgrade given: Y-J

Upgrade location: Lounge

Route: BKK-DXB

Flight number: EK385

Type of ticket: Flex

Date of travel: 02/02/13

Tier status: Gold

Tier miles to date: 14,500

Skywards miles balance: 66,000

Number of pax on the same PNR: Single

Skywards DOJ (approx): 2011

First letter of your surname: D

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
