Regarding upgrades, I am travelling as EBG to EWR in middle of july, good campaign fare, however especially outward flight CPH-EWR, did not have many seats left in Y to choose from, actually I have never been upgraded, so I really wonder a bot how it works, should I mention/ask for upgrade, I am flying GOT-CPH-EWR, or maybe ask in Scandinavian lounge, or is it just to be patient and wait until gate??. Is it any god asking , or will they maybe just offer you upgrade to E+ or C ??.

The way this has worked for me, I have just asked at the gate if they are doing any gold upgrade on this flight. As long as there are not too many people using upgrade coupons or C is highly booked, it has worked for me. Last summer, no problem at all but it could be that they are getting stingier on this now that more people know about the points/coupon upgrade option.
