Whilst you can upgrade all revenue Y tickets, there are restrictions on when you can do that even if there is availability. The cheapest (saver) Y tickets can't be upgraded until check-in opens. AMS-DXB might be difficult if you don't buy a flex ticket. And if it's New Years it may be even more difficult as EK generally seem to prefer to take cash rather than miles for seats! If by the time of your flight you are silver or above in Skywards you can upgrade on board on a space-available basis.
