Happened to me on my first op up 5 years ago as GR. Q class ticket, upgraded from Y to PY HKG to SIN on CX 735,
I had an earlier connecting flight from SIN so if that counted as an early check-in then maybe.
I took the same route as a non-MPC passenger 4 times in the last 2 months. That's what prompted me to try out for the MPC membership. Would Cathay/MPC have placed that under consideration during op up?
Despite the short journey, i thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Was very cool!
