Does anyone have any insight into the likelihood of award availability opening up? Is it possible it wont and the flight will go with First empty?
If I hope to upgrade at the airport is it better not to check in online?
Thanks
DUB-DXB is my most regular route, and ive rarely had any trouble upgrading to F.
Usually 72 hours before the flight they release a couple of F seats if theyre not sold out
