Looking at MAN-DXB r/t fares, the fare difference to upgrade 1 way 1st class (A) from cheapest business (I) would seem to be about GBP610
This was £850. The j ticket (flex) was £3k (glad I didn't pick that bit up as that's too high for dxb return).
What's annoying is that there was seats to upgrade to but no ug availability. I rang emirates and they apologised and said everyone was complaining about lack of up grades then he quoted me 2k for a paid upgrade
To be fair (and this has never happened before) they rang me back and offered it me for 850 plus 50 I told him I wasn't paying the change fee and it was waived.
Lets see if I can get some pyjamas and an amenity kit
