My ticket was a flex J ( paid by myself)
mrsukdoctor was given a companion fare ( Only taxes and fees )which was booked as a saver reward in J. I then upgraded both of us to F online using miles when F became available sometime later.
The flight was in september by the way.
The reason I remember this very well is that it cost me 32500 miles for mrsukdoctors upgrade from J to F while my upgrade was only 25000 miles . ( One way DXB to LGW).
will post the fare details below for the saver reward ticket which I got for mrsukdoctor
