Just trying to understand how this all works, so next time I am clued up.
Till recently you could upgrade to the higher class from either a flex or a saver ticket. It was just that upgrading the saver needed around 30% extra miles compared to an equivalent flex ticket.However they have changed the rules recently and there are some saver tickets that cannot be upgraded. (Though they can still be done on check in if available AFAIK).

Why don't you call EK and check.?
