Well seat next to me on EK770 isn't occupied so maybe ..? Plus the lady in 18H (aisle) tried upgrade on board but didn't have enough miles. Shame because I'd have loved 3 seats. She seemed quite sad, wasn't helped when 10 seconds later the cabin supervisor showed up and welcomed me back on board and completely ignored her (presumably silver).

Crazy fog in DXB this morning, lots of delays, awesome Autoland in super thick fog, couldn't see edge of runway from my window once we landed and only about 3 taxiway lights ahead, lovely long delay on 770 to CPT, though I somehow managed to be on the last pax bus to board and got told off for being late (flight delayed to 9.40 announced, I showed up at 8.58...?)
