No point renewing other than to get a good cross status when Emirates finally rebadge this airline. That just has got to be the way forward or just stop building the new airport

Oh and Akalra is correct that in AUH sweet talking the agent often put me in F up until perhaps late last year. Ive only had a single opup this year and that was a redemption out of Paris. Zero to or from London as I'm in Z usually
Well this isn’t good. Planned 100,000+ miles/year for the next few years. Only chose EY for higher chance of op-ups (have to go to MAN for EY) but may as well move to EK from NCL (my local) instead. Anyone know how EK is with op-ups?

Alternative is to move to WY. Good Y and J fares and a great J product. Anyone know how WY is with op-ups. I suspect they rarely have full Y cabin?
