I think only 1 other gold was in J and J was pretty quiet although I didnt look back to see how full economy was. I had just been complaining to my wife last night how I never got am upgade! Just renewed my gold on 31st July so a nice renewal gift

This is not my update, but friend of mine was upgraded.
Two separate tickets with different origins (Europe/Africa)
I was in J, she in Y.
We decided to meet at the airport just on entrance to the gate, had a chat before going to the gate and still chatting we have presented together our boarding passes to gate agent (I was waiting a bit longer so we can board together with other Y paxs). He asked us if we are together. After a short while a friend of mine was given new boarding pass with seat 9K (actually she was not aware about it until I told her that she is now in business class). Note: I was not asking for upgrade for her and she was previously not aware that I'm in J.

BTW. J had 100%LF so seat 9K means that probably someone was upgraded to F. On the plane nice pax changed a seat so we were able to sit together.

lucky day and I'm really grateful for that guy at the gate.

* OLCI at T-23hrs. Opted for mobile boarding pass - showed Y seat. While on way to airport, refreshed BP and J seat appeared. Wakes you up better than espresso!

OK, so that's one significant benefit of iO - never had that in so many years of flying EK.

What are you doing with 1 MILLION+ miles?!!!!

????

August, 2013 perhaps...

I guessed that, but didn't think we'd reached the 20th yet.

oh, I thought that was 2013 not as 08-20-13 - maybe the op didn't want to post the exact date of travel...

I've heard of y to j then j to f at the gate but rare, this is exceptional

... yes. Sorry for the confusion.
