KLM has changed its upgrade terms and conditions:

Offered an upgrade on the MME-AMS leg for £8.00 today even though I was in row 4. Sum total of 2 people in front of the curtain.
Turned this down yet happily paid £12 for Speedy boarding with U2 next week. Maybe something to do with the fact that. U2 want £45 to fly CPH-MAN one way and KLM was £500 return.

Offered €290 for AMS-YUL on Wednesday just gone. Slightly tempted but decided that it could be better spent on another trip elsewhere.
Seems a pretty good price. Can anyone vouch for my assumption?!

Yes, that's a good price. On that same route I had a similar price offer and took it.

ORD - AMS : €288
Seemed like a very light load (less than half the business class seats were pre-selected when I did OLCI) but of course not everyone may have had a seat selected in advance...

Looks like the chance to get an OLCI buy-up wil get slimmer after June 1st.
