On the way home SYD-DXB, a couple in front of us received a bump up at gate as we boarded, as we were Y saver tickets, unfortunately we were at the back end of the op-up queue! Any idea how many pax were op-up'd on this flight? EK415 on 17-Jan-2018.
How did you fair on your flight - did you get bumped up?
I was on that flight - EK415 on the 17th. There were a few spaces still in J so they must not have oversold as much in Y for that particular flight. I used 125,000 miles upgrading both ways from economy flex + only to see so many OP-Ups! I'll probably chance my luck next time I take this flight or pay for J but fly to Brisbane as it was 800 quid cheaper last time I checked.
