EK412, last week: the lady travelling with her family, in front of me at the gate, got bumped to F from J. She could not believe it. I saw her ask the oblivious agent: First class?! Really?! How did this happen?!
The agent did not answer her, and proceeded to print her the new boarding pass. I kinda felt sorry for her husband and the child having to bear with J.
It happens, but then that flight was oversold in J, with a couple of empty seats in Y and F. I just don't how or why that lady was flagged/picked up.

Are there any chances of getting upgraded to a higher class upon request at check-in counter, provided there are seats available?
My friend has a flight tomorrow on which only 40 are booked on a capacity of 320 Y class, 10 out of 38 in J class and 3 out of 10 in F class.
He has an economy Class ticket and has already checked in online.

Just an afterthought.
