As it is I'd keep an eye out for J Saver (O bucket) as from Flex Plus the additional cost might not be that high and sometimes savers do open up shortly before departure. With miles you can upgrade either in lounge or onboard, same miles cost.

I know you get some crazy price structures ex SA but even the going rate for the email upgrade DXB - AKL is 800 quid so I think the difference would still be quite a lot even from a Y+ to a business saver.
