upgrade chart?
Hi everyone, I am a recent Emirates Gold (based on two round-trip business class flights). I'm interested in using my miles for upgrades. I've looked all over the Skywards site and I can't find a chart that shows how many miles are needed for upgrades! I've also looked this in this forum, but only a few pages back I admit.
Could someone point me to the proper url? I did try to use the "where can I go today" function but it always timed out.
I'm looking in particular at Auckland-Sydney or other Australia destinations (from economy to business), and Auckland-Africa routes.

Birder,
Welcome to the EK forum!
You'll find the info you need here:
http://www.skywards.com/Mileage_Calculator.aspx
You will need 25,000 miles for a return Y-J upgrade (flex ticket) or 32,000 miles if you're on a saver fare for AKL-SYD
The Skywards website should be able to give you all the detail you need.

Technically you need to show the physical card and passport to do this but some pursers do not ask for them (or only the physical card).

No - but if you have Skywards status, you can request an upgrade on board - the purser has a tablet with your Skywards details and can deduct miles instantly and make the seat assignment.
