When I handed my BP to gate agent, she immediately replaced it with a new BP and said "you have a new seat arrangement. enjoy your flight!". I was greeted by ISM and she escorted me to my seat (12A) and said "Mr. rienhart87, my name is XXX. thank you for being MP member. if you need anything, please let me or my team know". Then FP came and brought a bottle of water for me.

For CX841, it was even stranger. I checked-in, check-in staff told me the flight is almost full but not quite. When boarding began, I gave my BP to gate agent, nothing happened. I thought, "hey, maybe you already got your one lucky strike. this time you should just be grateful and enjoy the flight in PEY". So I sat down on my assigned seat (32K). Then a gentleman came and walked to economy class cabin. The very same gentleman came again and sat next to me in about 10 mins. We greeted each other and he told me he's a DM and just got upgraded to PEY. I told him that I am only a low SL so no chance for me to get upgraded for this flight. I said I was already upgraded on my way to SFO. Then lo and behold, a ground agent came to me and asked "may i see your BP please?" I gave him my BP and the agent went away for like 5 minutes. He then returned and said "well Mr. rienhart87, you are clearly sitting in the wrong seat. you should be upfront seat 22A, left side of the cabin".

You should see the face of the DM gentleman next to me when he realized I got upgraded again to J.....

I moved to 22A right away and while I was settling down, the ISM and Senior Purser were greeting elite passengers. ISM greeted 21A and 23A while SP greeted me. 21A and 23A received a bottle of water and extra pillow. I didn't get anything. Throughout the flight, i was greeted by name and before landing, SP came again to thank me for being MP member.

So, can anyone explain to me when did the two upgrades happen in my two flights? I am still very curious
