With a number of LH flights next year, I hope my run continues.

Poor fare compared to most on here but inordinately pleasing none the less. On first flight as Gold did a B2B LHR/ LUX CE out and ET back. The lovely crew offered me an on the spot upgrade on the return. I'll keep my expectations low for future flights but I'll also enjoy the moment.

Flying on BA178 from JFK back to LHR. 2 hours before flight, seat changes in the app. Nice upgrade from W to J. Intended to try to AUP when at airport anyway, so a nice surprise. Even managed to get a upper deck seat too!
First free upgrade in about six months I think.

After being upgraded LGW AMS, AMS LGW also scored me an op up at the gate. No idea how or why as they could have moved the curtain to accommodate all in Y.
I'm now really hoping that I haven't used my three lives already this TP year as I have until June and LGW AMS is not as attractive a candidate as LHR KUL in WTP on Friday night!

Got moved up to cw last night on BA072 from AUH last night after an issue with the IFE. Csm was waiting for me at my new seat and when we established I wasn't hungry having just had a wrap in wtp insisted I at least had a glass of champagne. One of those situations where you feel the crew are making an extra effort to make you happy.

Last week, W to J on my outbound to ORD, and the same on my return from JFK. Means I finish the year with at least one opup’d sector on each of my business trips. W to J definitely the sweet spot, my trips are usually booked flex W fares, further increasing my chances ^

Part of a fairly big group travelling WTP and some in WT. All on various bookings with various status. We are on the ba92 from YYZ this evening.
I think everyone in the group (15-20 ppl) has been upgraded to next cabin.
Happily sat in CW currently after being fully prepared to pay for it for this one, on the way to the airport our seats all started to change
Merry Christmas

Me & OH BWI-LHR today - WTP-CW - aircraft change (788-789). No mention of it at all even at checkin - although BP showed seat change. Interestingly our 'new' CW seats were blocked at T72. App still showing our old seats.

A very welcome upgrade from WTP to CW on the BA27 to HKG last week. Particularly since it was an avios booking! W hadn’t seemed particularly full until a the afternoon of departure when seats rapidly filled up and my seat allocation changed on the app.
Arriving at F wing to check bags, I mentioned that I thought I had been bumped up to the check in agent. She remarked that “that’s not a very good seat” (a downstairs aisle seat on the A380) and kindly moved me to a much superior upstairs window seat in the front cabin!
Fifth op-up for 2018 in 70+ sectors on BA - the third in long haul.

WTP to CW on a YYZ to LHR, somewhat unexpected as the original aircraft was a 788 changed to a Super Hi-J 747 and consequently WTP seat numbers increased from 25 to 30. Must have been an effect of losing 9 WT seats resulting in people being pushed forward from WT into WTP, it looked undersold in WT but ended up going out completely full.
Whatever the reason, well received as I spotted it just as I was about to drop a bag, and asked the check-in agent if he would be able to move me - my auto allocated 20G was swiftly turned into 64A with a smile
Even got 64B blocked.....great crew as well, so lovely flight.
