How is this? I am looking to upgrade myself from Y to J on EK385. I asked both on the phone AND in the lounge and I was told on both occasions that we are not able to be wait listed for a miles upgrade. Is there anything I need to tell them to allow me to do this? I will be upgrading my fiancée and myself, though we're both on separate PNRs.
PS. Sorry for hijacking this thread!
