Hello Fellow FTers,

Couple of quick questions for all:

a) I'm 9735 short of becoming a Silver on EK - So my next trip to HKG will fetch me 9000 tier miles but that would mean I'm still short 700 from making it to Silver

b) I'm pretty sure EK won't make an exception and just grant me Silver status - as I'd be short 700 TMs - I've heard of exceptions if you're 500 TMs short of becoming silver.

c) in the event that I dont make Silver - is there anyway a purchased fare Flexi-Saver or a Saver Fare can be upgraded last minute to Business ? by last minute I meant at the counter could I purchase an upgrade ?

I'd really appreciate it if you could get back to me folks as my company's already booked my tickets but I really want to make Silver with this mileage run.

Thanks so much in advance everyone ! appreciate the help !
