I can't help but feel I did pretty well to get an upgrade given my stats! I tried to pay for an upgrade to J at the transit check in desk, but was told that I couldn't as it was a QF ticket (seems like there is no such thing as "airport control" of a ticket? On BA, within 24 hours, BA can do whatever they want with the ticket, even if it was issued by someone else)...perhaps this improved my opup chances? It was certainly very nice to get to see the EK A380 upstairs! ^ Being just 4 flights into my EK experiences, and first time in J, I must say it wasn't quite a good as QR, whom i've flown with a lot. I do prefer the EK J beds though.
