I used to fly quite a bit from the UK to US and got upgraded a few times. I still remember getting bumped up to business on a place with full reclining seats that turned into a bed.
Come morning I slowly returned to upright and could see all the way down into cattle class - where I discovered that one of my colleagues had been on the same flight... he looked less than impressed.
Another time - pre 9/11 - I somehow managed to make it all the way through to boarding a day early for my flight. So they bumped me up a class to get me on the plane.
