Figures...I am flying as a Silver quite regularly long haul and have never received an upgrade...howerever, I will take one for the team. I hope my wife and daughter enjoy the flight to DFW in business on the 380 if that is in fact what is happening and will arrive at their destination with a sunnier disposition. I assume without status I then wait to pick a seat for them unless I wish to incur the extra charge but there appears to be quite a few seats available so no need to.
