But back to my original question... in the pursuit of (fully refundable) buy plus upgrade (to business class)... is there any other airline we should be looking at? (particularly with trans-pacific routing to get from US to Japan, rather than the much longer trans-atlantic route?)
That's a question for the MR forum perhaps, depends on where you can use your points. You're right that EK redemptions aren't very good value compared to upgrades
