Currently I have an Expert Flyer alert set for my flight from DXB to AKL EK406 in February as this is the action which I have seen most frequently recommended. I have already been able to upgrade my flights between GLA and DXB from J to F but if there is another option which might help secure an upgrade on the longer segment then it would certainly be worth knowing about.

I know that there may be opportunities to upgrade at check in, the gate(?) or even on board but as I posted yesterday in Oztennis's thread I read somewhere on this forum, that it might be difficult/impossible, can't remember which, to upgrade the second leg of a multi leg flight at on line check in or at the first airport presumably because both would be more than 24 hours before the departure of the second flight.

Any thoughts or advice would be welcome.

Thanks
