Hi guys,

I will be flying with EK in July for my honeymoon between ICN (Korea) and JNB (Johannesburg) with a stop in Dubai. I was looking forward to trying first class suites (they look awsome BTW) but I'm 'forced' to make Business class reservation. To that end I'm seeking to find a solution for possible upgrade.
My questions are as below:

1. If I choose to pay extra at the airport, would the additional cost be the same as if I bought a first class ticket straight away? (for the flight, the difference between biz and first ticket was much less than I expected)

2. Is there anyone who got a free upgrade during their honeymoon?

I'm a bit desperate since I was really looking forward to flying in first class.
Please let me know if you guys have any other tips.


Thanks!
