Also, were you on an award ticket?
No it was a paid “P” Business ticket. I was very tempted by the CHF999 offer but I had a sneaky suspicion that I could receive an op-up as Y was full or oversold and Business was already quite full too. So for once I actually bet correctly 🤣.
As a SEN or even with my UA 1K status, I had previously received op-ups on LX from J to F during peak holiday periods (not just summer but also the year-end Christmas/New Years holidays) so I was betting that would be the case this time as well.
