FWIW there is no way to upgrade from business to first when flying from PER to AUH (there is no first class on this route). When I say sit on the north side of the plane I mean from AUH to IAD. I would therefore be sitting on the right/starboard/K seats and would therefore be on the north side of the plane. Thought this would be obvious sorry it wasn't....
When I fly IAD to LHR/FRA etc. I am on the port/left/A side. When I flew the reverse the opposite is true. This obviously doesn't work in the southern hemisphere if one wants to avoid the sun or on a north/south-south/north route.
