Why is LHR so awful with operational upgrades?

Most agents do not have the authority or system permissions to action an upgrade. In AUH that has to be done by Guest Control and in outstations is done by the Supervisor/Duty Manager.

Had it confirmed last week that opups are now ENTIRELY based on your fare type and status no longer makes any difference at all, Want F buy J basically.
No point renewing other than to get a good cross status when Emirates finally rebadge this airline. That just has got to be the way forward or just stop building the new airport
Oh and Akalra is correct that in AUH sweet talking the agent often put me in F up until perhaps late last year. Ive only had a single opup this year and that was a redemption out of Paris. Zero to or from London as I'm in Z usually

Alternative is to move to WY. Good Y and J fares and a great J product. Anyone know how WY is with op-ups. I suspect they rarely have full Y cabin?

Do you mean outbound from LHR or any route? Do you know how long this policy has been in place? I got opup'd 2 weeks ago AUH-MAN. I purchased the cheapest Y seat and am gold.
