Op-Up Question

Hello everybody.

Lets say I get an operation opup from economy to business. Would I still be able to upgrade from Business to First using points?

No, since your ticket will still be Y. But I suppose if you used points to upgrade from Y to J, you might then get an op-up from J to F. Does anyone have experience of this?

As far as I know, you cannot upgrade from economy to business then business to first with points.
you can only upgrade from economy to business or business to first with points.

Yes - twice! Used miles to upgrade from Y to J beforehand and was then op-upped to first -DXB/MEL and MEL/DXB on two separate occasions.

Thank you JudeS for your feedback.
Have you ever been upgraded then used your miles for a 2nd upgrade?

Yes, this way it works but not officially the way the threadopener is describing.

Yes, did/get it once on DXB-MUC. Upgraded myself with Points to J and then got an opup J-F (at the Gate).
