. It would be rather boring and jealousy inducing for us poor FTers that have never had an OpUp 
and given the less reporting, we need to talk about it to set the OpUp world to rights.Wiki done.

I want to record my prediction here, 8 days to go until this flight, EF showing Y0 J7, EK website showing Y sold out, I am on a Flex fare with Gold, I predict I will receive an op-up, let's see what happens!
(Caveat: I've ordered a SPML which I don't usually, curious if this affects it, see: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/emira...challenge.html)

I have zero faith in EK op ups these days so I pay for the class I want to fly in.

Flew DXB-LHR on Jan 11 in Y Flex Plus (not because of upgrade policy, but because no other fare was available and I needed to take that flight) as EK Plat, remained in Y while an EK Gold (no idea which Y fare basis) was bumped up to J...
