to be fair...indeed. Flights seem to be packed these days. However, the change I've noticed from before is I am frequently getting op-upped at the airport despite skipping OLCI. I'm checking in for my flights just 60-120 minutes before departure. For example, last week my "SEC" # on the boarding pass was 200+ but I got op-upped. I recall last month having 300 something (!!) on my SEC #, but got op-upped. This is a change. In the past, IME if my "BN" (the thing before "SEC") was high, it usually meant lower to non-existent chance of op-up.

Which routes do you fly, out of curiosity?
I buy a lot of intra-Asia travel primarily in Y class, sometimes in J (op-ups are usually to PEY or J), and North America mainly in J, sometimes in F (my long-haul op-ups are to F). I've flown to most cities across CX's/KA's network but do multiple flights annually each to PEK, PVG, HGH, SIN, TPE, SFO, JFK, and LAX.
