So I finally managed to use some points for an upgrade yesterday.

I was hoping for an op up as they told me they were overbooked by 3 and under by 6 in j. The check in lady asked if I'd like to use miles and I duly did. I got to the desk where I had to pay the air passenger duty and they were touting the rest go the seats off at £417. J ended up going out full y with some seats left and f 6/14.

I guess it shows d class is not high up on ek's agenda anymore when they have people queuing to pay £400 for one leg in j.

On the way out ek17 there were 16 golds in j and 7 plats one of whom was upgraded to the last seat in f... Man is definitely status heavy!
