I received an email from Emirates this morning, offering an upgrade on one leg of my flight (CPT to FCO) from Economy to Business, for ZAR2500.

It sounds like a good deal, so I logged in to the Emirates site to upgrade. I went through the upgrade process, entered my credit card details, and then after doing the Visa/MasterCode secure code bit, the Emirates site said that my session had timed out!

Now it appears as though the payment has gone through, but my itinerary isn't showing the upgrade. I don't want to do the upgrade again in case they charge me twice, but I don't want to miss out on the upgrade!

Obviously I'll have to phone them tomorrow and find out what the status is (they're not available on Sundays), but what are the odds that by tomorrow all the upgrade slots will be used up, and I won't be able to upgrade? Alternatively, what are the odds that the upgrade did go through and I just can't see it yet?
