Smelled like J oversold and I was disappointed to not get an upgrade hours before (more often than not, I get upgrades a few hours before departure) but I did get it before boarding. There is no way that a CIV score of 1-4 was the highest (or 2nd highest) in a full J cabin on a 380
Op ups are decided by DUT which stands for Discretionary Upgrade Tool and a high CIV doesn't always determine any upgrade.
There can be numerous combinations as to why someone is upgaded which might not always seem to be logical. Ticket type/cost, status, single traveller and various other factors are at play but not exclusively. Various threads on FT over the years. Anyhow, let's get back to the 70k TP title/discussion
There is now an official upgrade list
