Upgrade of the year?

Flying BOM-DXB-CPT on Thursday morning, booked in Y Flex.

Had upgraded DXB-CPT to J with 46,800 miles a few months ago, was waiting for availability for BOM-DXB.

Today I checked the app and saw availability, no alert from EF or EK (both had been set).

Now this is a good deal for 3 reasons:

- it's an A380
- BOM-CPT is only 48750 miles to upgrade so only 1950 additional miles to add BOM-DXB
- 23A was available (and now mine)

CD also available to me in BOM now.

Is this good value or what? 1950 miles for 2.5hrs A380 J instead of Y + CD + bar + outside chance at op-up to F
