I haven't gotten any op-ups (or even had onboard upgrade availability) this summer yet in Flex, Flex+, or Business Flex+, and I've been on 7 EK "leisure" flights (AMS x4, CDG, BCN, CEB) since June -- I wouldn't count on op-ups at this point as a Gold.

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into CRK & CEB as well... interesting note on the op-ups, ex-ARN I'm on 3 op-ups this year so far and ex-DXB to ARN at least twice all whilst on Y Flex Plus tickets. Flown a few on the same sector too with Y Saver or Special tickets but the load was 50% in Y so all good flying solo with an entire row to yourself...
