I only upgraded with miles on the way here, but don't think I can shell out more money for another upgrade. Has anyone had any luck obtaining any op-ups at Heathrow? I am desperate to sit up front again, but my money is running low while spending in London. Had some charm and being nice helped in the past? How are the CO reps at LHR? Any lounges in Terminal 4?

It's all luck. Charm doesn't really factor in as much anymore. I mean, it does, but at such random data points. __________________ 2011 EUAs: Plat (2/4) Gold (5/12-CO, 3/7-UA), 1 Comp UG

OP-ups on CO are very very rare. Of course, there are people who have got it for some reason or the other. I have never had one in my few years as CO Plat. I fly quite a bit on international routes.

Yes, people have. Quote: I am desperate to sit up front again Well, it won't be through an op-up, I can virtually guarantee that for you. Quote: but my money is running low while spending in London. Then start your own charity. Maybe sing songs in Piccadilly Circus. CO is not a charity for poor people who want to fly business class. Quote: Had some charm and being nice helped in the past? Unlikely. Quote: How are the CO reps at LHR? Mostly British. Quote: Any lounges in Terminal 4? Absolutely none.
