Seat map looked completely empty in Y earlier this morning and is now showing as completely full which reinforces the fact that it is a very unreliable way of knowing how busy a flight really is. S |

I'm not sure. It's very confusing. This morning on EK525 i wasn't upgraded on a saver award ticket, others were. If rules had changed i would almost certainly been in the top 5 or so by status for that route (and also didn't notice anyone else getting a greeting near me in Y which sort of indicates lack of status pax). Just my bad luck I guess
And Saltire, yes, I've been very lucky of late but after the rules changed I didn't receive an upgrade for months. |
Not sure if this helps (or if it relates directly to what you're talking about).
On two occasions before the rule change, I had used miles to upgrade from a purchased Economy ticket to Business, and then received upgrades to First. Last week a friend purchased a Y ticket, used miles to upgrade to Business and then was upgraded to First. (Dubai to Bangkok) |

I thought that even prior to the rule change it wasn't possible to get op ups on award/upgrade tickets?
As a further data point, I got upgraded from J-F from Tokyo to Dubai earlier last week. Granted, it was a J flex ticket but I was told at check in that I was first on the upgrade list. From experience, there are usually quite a few people on J flex plus tickets from Tokyo so again, I was a little surprised. Flight was showing as J0 Y0. |
