Upgrade from V
Dear All,
I've been reading the forum for quite a while and finally decided to join.
I don't fly as much of all of you, about once a month and usually to Europe (in economy). I try and fly elal but since many times I return on Shabbat I take other carriers.
Out of my 4 flights with LH I got two OPUps which made me very happy with them.
In two weeks I am flying with Elal TLV-CDG. My return is in V class.
What are my chances for an OPUp?

To be honest very small. If economy is overbooked on your flight and there are not enough people entitled to a last minute upgrade (only S, Y, M classes) then they may OpUp some people but they will normally choose TPL, PL, GL, SL first and only then regular Matmid members.
So I would not hold up your hopes.
That said, you were very lucky to get 2 OpUps with LH so who knows - maybe luck follows you

2nd, Depends on who fly in the same flight, If you are the only Matmid,
and the flight is overbooked, you might be upgraded...
I have seen people which are not matmid upgraded to business due to
overbooking and the fact now one left to upgrade.
