This was my platinum qualifying flight, so the EK202 u/g was definitely appreciated
. Great way to hit Plat! I had upgraded the EK500 leg to F already so the whole JFK to BOM leg was in F including lounge access.
Another thing I noticed was that I seemed to be the only F pax transiting DXB, the remaining 13 all went off to baggage claim. Just probably an indicator of where most of the F traffic originates from....
And no plats on 202 which was surprising, except an i/o member in 1A
Very interesting experience JD I usually take the HYD-DXB-JFK, connecting to EK201 from DXB to JFK. And usually return on the EK-202 Via DXB to HYD. My J to F op-Ups follow a consistent trend. 50% of times HYD-DXB. And about 20% from DXB to JFK. NEVER from JFK-DXB and rarely on DXB-HYD. ALl this as Gold. I recently hit Platinum. Will check if the Op-Up rates change much.
