They do run flights without J service, although I've only seen them due to lack of demand as opposed to just not offering it, i.e. upgrade to EBC was available during checkin but nobody bit, so the EBC rows left empty and the curtain left open. One flight on a 737 I think EBC was 5 rows, and all were empty, again they offered upgrade to it but nobody bit.

2 seats taken in J in the end. Y quite full as far back as I can see, so I guess Y capacity trumps the chance of extra revenue this morning.

Has anyone ever had the experience of a special meal blocking an upgrade offer at OLCI? There are 5 available on a flight and i can only select an upgrade for myself but not my partner. It could also be down to a status issue (1 gold and 1 ivory) but it’s odd to offer one person on a booking and not another.

They have never wanted me to have this upgrade from the time I originally booked my Y ticket offering only one award upgrade ticket at that time too.
Oh well Y comfort it is ^

I had something like this but different. Misses Guggenheimer who is a nobody got an upgrade to GRU offered on the Dreamliner for very little money.. But I as a plat for life did not. Tickets where economy and bought together in wereld deal weken so lowest fare. We took the one chair and I had the privilege of 3 chairs in Y for myself.

GRU-AMS tomorrow 419EUR from Eco to Biz. No brainer to me, so I took it. Surprised me to be honest since I was on a cheap (for that route) return ticket for around 800 EUR to begin with.

Special meals might be a reason not to get it..
