if no voucher was taken, this is an op-up which to me is a rarity on Jet Airways.. only reason for op-up's is that you are a celebrity (smile.. sign..) or flight was completely full in Y and there werent that many elites on the flight as you being silver got an upgrade.. if you did get an op-up on 9W - i'd say go get a lottery ticket that very day... its def 1 in many (million/billion) chance.. IMHO atleast..
No, I'm so sick of refusals that I stopped trying with the voucher in Feb. This was a total fluke. I'm definitely sure the flight was not overbooked, because despite being webchecked in, I asked if a first row Y seat was available and the officer said yes, but middle row to which I said no. She then smiled and said I was upgraded to J. This is the second time in 5 yrs this has happened. First time was on Coimbatore - Mumbai on an Air Sahara flight (at that time just bought by Jet). Those aircraft had no J class tickets (so the J class seats had no meal service, etc. ) and they upgraded based on appearances alone.
