I then cancel the upgrade if the inbound is 2 class or the one with old seats. (LGW is now becoming notorious for frequently switching to two class). No hassles and the miles are credited immediately.
How does one check the inbound? (in this case EK22) without a paid for Expertflyer account?

Also - if the aircraft is switched to a 2 class, what happens to me seat wise? I originally had a lovely 7K seat which will no doubt be not available when the aircraft is changed and I will end up with a last ditch middle seat in J. Will EK be sympathetic towards this and give me a small amount of miles as recompense?
