On my upcoming trip, the F cabin is showing F4 on ExpertFlyer (I think thats the max EF ever shows for EK space -- cant seem to find any flight over F4).

Is there any certain number of upgrades that EK allows and then doesnt allow anymore? Certain number of days out, etc?

I know the upgrade routine with LH and UA. Just curious if EK has a certain method on releasing the upgrade space.

thanks!
J to f is easier to find than y to j. They base it on tickets sold and historical data and forecasts.

More and more its last minute or at check in so the best thing to do is set up an expert flyer account and search for z class availability.

Good luck!
