Hello there,

I have a question about Emirates. I asked somebody to book me a ticket from Budapest to Kuala Lumpur with Emirates. Unfortunately he booked an economy class ticket instead of a business class ticket(my mistake).

Today I have phoned Emirates to ask whether it is possible to upgrade to business or first class. They have told me, since I apprarantly booked a promotion ticket, I am not allowed to upgrade.

Could somebody tell me if there is a way around this, in my opinion, ridicilous system?

Thank you in advance.
