Cheapest Economy seat eligible for upgrade = AED650. Cheapest Business (Saver) = AED1200, and Business Flex = 2550.
That's a huge difference for a relatively minor upgrade - the why would I but a flex ticket on a date I know I am 100% going to fly, anyway? The air miles are not worth the significant extra charge.
