Congratulations, rozy!

It’s kind of telling that between all of us here, the last post in this thread was 2 1/2 years ago.

Actually, it is not very hard on European and Asian routes. I got op-up twice on IST-SGN. Once in Dec 16 and once in Mar 17. But not once on the way to the US. They are fully booked in C when Y is not. Always.

Just recently I got upgraded too, for the second time after an upgrade on LX short haul. Interestingly I was already sitting in my Y seat when a cabin crew member asked to see my boarding pass. A person next to him had "Standby" on the boarding pass, but handwritten the seat number I was sitting in. The cabin crew member then told me that I sit in row 1, business class. The looks my neighbors gave me

Apparently the upgrade happened after I boarded and that's why I didn't have the updated boarding pass.

Not a huge upgrade, but nice recognition for being Elite Plus.

Is it Elite & family members or Elite+ & family members?

I should have made myself clearer. I am just Elite and both of my parents are classic only.

Probably right. Although I've rarely been on a flight between Turkey and Germany that wasn't pretty well booked
