Previously, I remember a number of times when all paying WBC pax would be moved upstairs, and elites moved to the main deck biz seats, with Y service. This mostly on 744 service from the Far East, on routes with more tour groups than premium traffic (ICN, KIX, NGO, among others). This practice seems to have disappeared with the shrunken WBC cabins

Just came back from Manila. Flight was overbooked from Kuala Lumpur and got seat 4E as an Economy seat all the way from Manila. Didn't ask for it, the check-in agent told me I could choose a seat from rows 1 to 4 after he saw my PE card. Not bad!
My op-upgrade score is 2 in the last year. One SFO-AMS on KL and one AMS-KUL on MH, both being GE.
