I have a question related to upgrades with points. Before my question, this is what is posted on EK's website:
Upgrades
- Upgrade rewards start from only 7,500 Miles
- Upgrade easily online from Economy to Business or from Business to First Class
- Upgrade on any type of ticket as late as six hours before departure*
- Instant upgrades available at check-in for all members and on board for Silver, Gold and Platinum members
- Spend Miles on upgrade rewards for family and friends
My question is: if we are traveling in J on an award (D space), can we upgrade to F using points, and if so, does Z space need to be available? This assumes we are doing this at T24 or less.
There are four of us traveling, 2 in F and 2 in J and Z space hasn't been opening up in the last few days leading up to flights (researching via ExpertFlyer), so wondering if this is a viable alternative.
Any advice or thoughts appreciated!
