BA287 LHR-SFO on Sep 6th WT+ to CW
BA286 SFO-LHR on Sep 18th WT+ to CW
Both upgrades at the gate before boarding. On both sectors the WT+ cabins were full with a handful of OpUps into CW.
I was a Silver, travelling alone, with no pre-booked meal.

The OpUp was done an hour or so before boarding.

Personally I wasn't keen to downgrade out of exit row class, so stayed where I was - and had a flat bed with all three seats of an A319 to myself.

I had been refusing to pay the £700 each to upgrade that sector. On the day there was a very last minute equipment change Mid J to Super High J and between bag drop and the lounge we got moved.
It turned out to be a very lucky holiday because our flights from LAS-MIA-NAS didn't get cancelled or changed and we got through MIA just after Irma when they were only flying about a third of the schedule. Then the O&O Ocean Club gave us an upgrade as they were well below 20% occupancy (and totally unscathed).
