the last time I flew Y on a longhaul must have been in the mid 80s or so.... but then again - my parents tried to teach me some humility ...

Never once using UA*G (1P or 1K), but *very* frequently (both European sector and intercontinental) as a SEN a few days ago....
Was once told by a gate agent to choose either my FTL (she said she would be doing them first, before *G) or UA*G for op-ups, I chose UA*G, got to ride in the back!

As in wild boar? Incredible with what these HONs can get away!

So you were upgraded to ride in the back? Where were you supposed to be sitting if you weren't upgraded?

I got my first op-up from Y to C today from FRA-BOS. I'm only an FTL (with 70K so far this year -- should make senator in a month or two). Do they prioritize within FTLs on the basis of current status miles?

Maybe they sense I'm getting close to Senator. ;-)

Belated welcome to FT, econprof!
I had several op-ups as a new SEN, but no op-up since. But then I acquired a taste for travelling in C and have started to pay to fly in C when possible. I'll now have to hope for C to F op-ups.

Hmm let me think my last time in long haul Y must have been - wait - in the mid ... of last week . SIN-BKK-FRA-WAW-FRA-BKK-SIN (TG & LO) to be exact and the week before that SIN-FRA-KBP-FRA-SIN (SQ & LH) - also in Y of course. Ahh the pleasures of cost savings
