The way the upgrade was given was rather funny. I had been sleeping on the floor at DXB for 8 hours, forgetting to remove the boarding pass from my pocket. The result was a crumbled boarding pass in 2 pieces.
I showed it to the gentleman at the gate, who looked at the crumbled paper, laughed and printed me a new one, which came with the upgrade.
Sadly the seat was 8E - _ -
