I’m Skywards Gold on a FlexPlus Y ticket, should I request an upgrade to J using miles in DXB, or simply sit tight and see if an Op-Up comes my way? All thoughts most welcome....
Depends how much you want to sit in j...
more chance if you volunteer to use miles but gold and flex plus would put you quite high on the list - depends on how many seats are left and how many platinum on board
