Emirates just announced a business class sale for this flight, and it wouldn't cost that much more to upgrade to business class based on the fare difference... here is the issue... they want to charge me $800 extra ($400 per person for a "ticket change") to upgrade on the website. If I call Emirates customer support, do you think there is any possibility they'll waive that fee considering I'm staying on the exact same flight, and the only difference is I'm upgrading my seat? Seems a little silly to charge a fee for that...
