Seems like status holder + Y, B or M class ticket + overbooking in economy is the best way to get an upgraded.... But wanted to see what the chaces were like with different criteria. There are almost no collective data points for KE upgrades... Even on Korean sites.

Thanks!!
I'm trying to decide whether or not it's worth it to attempt this strategy on a trip to BKK in October. I'm currently Morning Calm, and debating on buying an M class ticket so that I can use my SKYPASS miles to upgrade if no op-up at checkin/gate. Anyone have any experience upgrading with miles at the gate if economy is not oversold? Obviously, I'd rather not have to go that route, but I have some miles due to expire next year that I don't want to go to waste.
