(I am guessing, no but the confusing verbiage in T&C under upgrade section (The Mile values shown in the tables also apply for one-way tickets.) isn't doing any favors).

How about if I buy / transfer TK miles to my M & S, can those miles be used for upgrade. (I am guessing yes, but wanted to confirm).

And finally, does YQ apply on upgrades ?
- 45k is OW only (return would be sweet, but no)
- bought or transferred miles will work for upgrades
- you’ve already paid for the fees/taxes with your ticket and won’t be charged any more
