there is always a group of people trying to check-in at T-48. You will see that it doesn't make a big difference if you check-in at T-45 or T-35, you'll probably be somewhere around BN20

But yeah, I was worry that with 4x JFK-HKG the op-up days are over, but I was wrong... ^

Recently on a "all 9s" flight from HKG-BOM, was op-up at airport (no-OLCI) from Y to J. Not me but my mother who is also GO.
All 9s doesn't seem to eliminate the chance.

Just wonder if the All 9 comes with all 9 in CDJI and 4 in FA ... it sounds strange for me they oversell like crazy.
They may as well know that flight is not selling in forward cabin and essentially sell an op-up (which they accept the fact that by selling one more Y means one more elite getting op-up)

DM
GO
OW Emerald
OW Sapphire
At least 20-30 people that fit in those 4 categories won't you say? Now what do you think your op-up chance is?

Both times I got op-uped as SL (SFO<->HKG) were with a 2-digit BN. I never got an op-up with a single digit BN, even #1 on one occasion. Most (including me) will agree I just got lucky - I got them on occasions when I thought I had as much as a snowball's chance in hell. There's nothing outrageous about my traveling habits to have them use that; I can comfortably make SL. I could make GO if I did some extra traveling. I couldnt make DM unless they have a catastrophic c*ckup in their IT system and assign me status miles I never flew.

It was not until recently that we can print our BPs. If the check-in confirmation page is the same, there should be a check-in reference as follows <flight_number>/ddmmm/<bn>, where <bn> is a 4-digit number.
