Please post your 2019 Operational Upgrade Experiences in this thread.
Around the middle of 2016, Emirates modified their Operational Upgrade Policy favouring type of ticket over status holders, giving non status passengers on Flex and Flex Plus tickets an advantage over (for example) Silver members on a Saver ticket. During the latter half of 2016, less Op Ups were reported but we would still like to hear when they happen.

Please use the following format for ease of reading and of course, discussion is still welcome.

Upgrade given: Y - J
Upgrade location: Gate
Route: BKK-DXB
Flight number: EK385
Type of ticket: Saver
Date of travel: 06/09/18
Tier status: Gold
Tier miles to date: 18,000
Skywards miles balance: 80,000
Number of pax on the same PNR (Including OP): 1

Safe & Happy Travels and May The Upgrade Gods Look Upon You.

I wonder how over sold it has to be for this to occur so early... my flight the other day was overbooked by 20+ and I still didn't get the new seat until 1 hour before. Also, you seem to fly on savers quite a lot, how the hell do you have 400k + tier miles!
Have you managed to get anywhere near the spend for the Plat unlocks?

How about a non op-up: a flight that was 10 over and forecast 10 over, 2 hours before...only to have 30 misconnects!!
