Hi all - this is my first post here.

I fly Emirates a lot and have never had trouble upgrading using skywards miles but having trouble at the moment. Flying CHC - BHX then MAN - CHC in September. The website won't let me even check if there is any availability for upgrades for the whole return flight (on the way out, there is a box I can check to do this when looking at the upgrade section in "manage my booking") - the return flights are just faded out and won't let me tick the box.

Does anyone else have this experience? Are there some flights which have just been blocked out completely, or should I just try closer to departure?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Regards
