I'm not under the impression any program typically upgrades elites on international flights, unless a flight is oversold. Recently saw someone on Facebook note they experienced operational upgrades on flights that were not oversold, as emeralds; on BA and QR. Iirc the BA included a J to F.
Is there any strategy or anything to explore here? If I don't use points for J outright, I typically upgrade into it particularly on QR. Trying to understand if there's a different strategy I could employ as OWE, or if these anecdotes should be considered absolute miracles?
