9W Op-ups
 

Does 9W generally do op-ups when there is overbooking in lower classes? Do they routinely overbook on the assumption that they can op-up some people?

For example, for a JP Gold member, are there any chances of op-up from, say J to F, on the BOM-LHR route?

Or does this never happen?

Certainly. As a Plat I've been quite lucky indeed, and am very happy with 9W internationally.

Doubt that at all, given the high frequency of elites on this route.

Yes, as Plat one is op-upped, but 9wGold is a different story...however, apart from this there is very little difference between the 2 levels, imo and experience.

Yikes, I'm being downgraded to Gold on Mar 1! :(

And it would probably take me atleast 3 months to regain Plat. Let's see what my time as a goldmember ends up like.

Not much different if one is in premium classes of travel...

Since, we're talking J -> F op-ups here, although both premium cabins, I'm assuming you're saying there will still be a big reduction in that conversion % as a Gold as opposed to Plat...

Probably...

Let's see what happens - report here! ;) :p

I never opup and tell. ;) :p

Oh well...

have only got an op-up once on 9w....& it was a great one....was flying back to delhi from jfk & their business was full....not only did they put me in first but they put my wife in first as well....i didn't even have to say anything....i got to the counter & they said they had upgraded my wife (no 9w status) & me (plat) to first....this was last year in the summer, just before they dropped first class on that route....
