This is weird as I'm taking a flight to IKA in January and no issue there for another friend LHR-DOH-LHR legs.

Can I ask at check in - surely there can't be 50 status in Y on every flight? I know who they are in the Skyteam lounge, and the most I'd say there is 10-20!

Thanks,

When did you choose seats for the Jan flights? I wonder if they've only restricted upper deck to status pax since the announcement came out a couple of weeks ago. The announcement did specifically mention in bold text that only status pax would have upper deck and not accompanying passengers/family.

My upcoming A380 flights are looking almost full in Y upper deck but almost empty on lower deck - so I'm guessing at some point anyone could choose an upper deck seat. In which case I'll probably switch to lower deck for my overnight legs in search of an empty row

Also has BKK now been announced as third A380 destination? That one went under the radar!
