That would have been entertaining, wouldn't it? But no...when the machine spat out my BP I looked at the screen and saw my 'history' for the flight. It showed all of the shuffles I'd been given. The GA said "Did you know you'd been upgraded to Club World today, Mr X?" and I said "No, I didn't, that's fantastic, thank you very much!" then saw the screen and remarked "It looks like they moved me around several times!" To which she replied "Yes, but I shouldn't worry, it's always a good sign...enjoy your flight" First time I'd ever seen the screen history actually so I was quite surprised to see so many moves. Made me ponder how many seats I'd "had" on previous lucky OpUps!

(And incidentally, I didn't get a new BP, she just crossed out 20D and wrote 12K in biro on my original one!)
