Uk : op up rate 0% ( never had an op up in last 5 years)
Dubai : Op up rate Yto J when flying to India 100% ( but have only done this twice)
Op up rate J to F flying to India 33%
Op up rate Y-J flying to UK. 0%
Op up rate J-F flying to UK 50%
India : Op up rate Y to J flying to DXB 66%y
Op up rate J to F flying to DXB. 0%
Me neither y to j or j to f but I've used emirates since 2007!
