Well SK946 ORD-ARN went out on March 26th with plenty of empty seats in business class and without a single upgraed pax ....

According to the GA, business class had checked in full and they had only catered enough meals for the pre-sold seats, so nobody could be upgraded even though there were plenty of seats empty.

A pretty frustrating experience I must say. Even though I'm certainly not expecting an upgrade, even when it shows 9's across the board the day before departure, this indicates more an unwillingness on SK's side to even entertain these point upgrades.

Was this a freak occurance or is it a trend?
Another pax (also denied an upgrade) theorized that this was an ORD thing, that the station manager "always did this" ??
