Ahh, the tell-tale beep. A sound I yearn for
I fly mostly on OV, and they don't really treate EBs well at all. I've been op-up'ed around 5% of the time, and only half those times do I think it was related to status. The other times, I was just one of the last people to check in and the P-class cabin was full.
On SK, I have been upgraded to Y+ or C 25% of the time when flying ARN-LHR or CPH-LHR on Saturday afternoons. Those flights seem to be packed quite often.
On LH, I've been upgraded to C on FRA-TLL once due to an invol rebooking and no more space on the plane. Other times on LH I've noticed that seat blocking seems to be honored for me.
I've got a CPH-IAD run scheduled in 2 months, and it's one of the first times in a few years that I've used SK across the Atlantic. Fingers crossed for an upgrade ^
