To further add on to this, SIN-NRT upgraded to PEY at OLCI, then to Business at the gate, and NRT-SEA upgrade to PEY at OLCI. All segments on ANA. It seems that during OLCI, if the flight is full in Y, and as long as your gold card is logged into your reservation, it will pre-assign you/allow you to choose a PEY seat. (Was booked in S fare for segments from YYZ-SIN, and in V fare SIN-YYZ, all booked thru UA under UA codeshare flight numbers.)

Premium economy -> Business

Was given an op up to business class due to flight being oversold
First time I've experienced an op up on a long haul!
Assuming my *G gave me priority over others?
Upgraded again on the return flight! Same reason

Recently had upgrade with Brussels airlines at boarding due to overbooked plane. *G status - only frequent flyer on a Saturday. Airline kept middle seat empty and opened the champagne bottle! Nice upgrade.

At least you got off the plane earlier?

Some people were upgraded on my SK flight a month ago but then disembarkation started from the back!

To be picky, this is only assuming someone was sat in row 3 and row 1, or no-one sat in row 3 and neither in row 1.

LX ZRH-PVG Y to C during OLCI.

Might have had something to do with me buying a bulkhead seat for €100 when I booked the flight, in addition to being A3*G?

So, if it was due to your being Gold, you should ask for your money back (for the bulkhead seat)

LX has no long reach full Y-cl bombers as AB still has...

But flights to China are often overbooked in Y-cl and upgrades into C-cl happen quite often for *G members.
