Just been on the phone to EK to ask how much a cash upgrade to F is. The very nice Italian CS agent I was speaking to has asked me if I wouldn't mind calling back as because it is a TA booking she will have to make some enquiries first so that she can recalculate.
I thought that once you had completed one leg of your journey then the control of the ticket comes under full control of the airline. Expert views

Back of a fag packet arithmetic I am reckoning around £700 maybe. I of course, and knowing my luck, could be way way off
. If it is that though I will be definitely ponying up the cash. That's for both legs and will take me into EK Gold territory unlike the £700 to buy 'nearly' enough miles to upgrade 1 leg.
Will let you know the outcome.
