Upgrading EK mileage tickets via Manage My Booking?
First time I've ever seen this but I'm being offered to upgrade my HKG-BKK to First for 10k (which is the difference between C/F Award) even though the ticket has originally been booked with miles.
BKK-HKG is now operated by 77W (used to be A380). Now that the flight has a First again I'm tempted however I'd need to transfer the 10k from Amex into my EK account, the original booking was made from a different Skywards account.
Is this legit or an anomaly displayed by the website that errors out at the end? I don't want to be stuck with 10K Skywards and lose them from my AX MR account.
