Looks like I'll be sticking with Business Class

1 night in an IHG Hotel = 500 miles. $1 spent at Starwood hotels = 2 Skywards miles. 1 car rental from certain partners = 500 miles.

1500 miles can be obtained easily. Quickest way to check upgrade availability in my opinion is checking on the Emirates app under My Trips > Click the trip > top right menu icon > upgrade it'll show which sectors have availability. always check availability before purchasing.
