Hi,
I inquired about the upgradeability of one of my Emirates flights, and the only flight that is (currently) available for upgrade is one in mid-august. I would, however, like to upgrade my flight in January. Now emirates tells me
Sorry, there are no reward seats available in the next higher class for the flight(s) chosen. Please try again closer to departure.
Is this a generic message that means that (most likely) all upgradable seats in business class are already taken? Or is the date simply to far in the future and Emirates does not allow these upgrades to happen so far ahead (it would be somehow odd, if I am able to upgrade my flight in August, but not in January - I doubt they have the January flight booked so far ahead of time!)
I already tried to use Seatcounter.com, but didn't really get what the different classes specifically mean (e.g. if people from that particular class are allowed to upgrade or whether this particular class has so and so many seats available).
So if someone could be of any help to me, that would be much appreciated
P.S. I'd like to upgrade the EK381 flight on the 14th of January 2011 from HK to Dubai!
