Well, I got an operational upgrade from HKG to ZRH on the Sunday night flight, most welcome it was too. I actually arrived in Switzerland feeling pretty good, despite the time difference, whereas in economy I would have felt pretty grotty. The flight was fairly heavily oversold, and I checked in quite early with absolutely no expectations, resigned to an economy flight. The upgrade was done at the gate when I was called to the gate agent. By the way, the Plaza lounge we share with several other airlines at HKG isn't up to much.
