Emirates Skywards - BA miles in exchange for EK skywards?

Hi folks,

It's my first time flying emirates from JFK to BLR (via Dubai) and I'm traveling half way across the world just to get married!! Im interested in getting an upgrade on the return flight on June 23rd.. Wanted to know the following:
1) anyone interested in exchanging BA miles for skywards that will get me an upgrade. I have 60k + miles available
2) anyone selling skywards miles which may be expiring soon?
3) any advice on what other options I have.

Cheers!

Hi jyotsanakumar, welcome to FT!

Unfortunately, the nature of your request in questions 1 & 2 is not possible in the general forums; there is a separate forum called Coupon Connection which has certain requirements that you need to meet for access.

From the FT TOS: "In order to access Coupon Connection 180 days membership on FlyerTalk is required, along with 180 posts. The limitation of access exists to keep the focus of FlyerTalk discussion on Miles and Points."

As for 3, you can try checking with EK at the check-in desks, as they sometimes may offer reduced-fees upgrades at the time of check in. That would be if they had any seats open, of course. A "free" upgrade is not very common for a passenger without status in Skywards. Even then, as a Gold member, EK usually only upgrades passengers on oversold flights in economy. Your best bet would probably be to try for the paid upgrade.

The terms and conditions of FT do not permit the buying and/or selling of miles...
