I have a question for anyone coming to the WA via Emirates. I realize there is an Emirates forum, but was looking for specific DPs on MLE-DXB or DXB-MLE routes so thought I would post it here....and truth be, the Emirates crowd is much less fun than the Maldives crowd

I am booked with points in Business class. From what I can see on ExpertFlyer points upgrade availability to First open up 48 hours before the flight, presumably as the check-in window opens. I am curious from other points business class flyers if they have been offered any pre-check-in points or cash upgrades? If so, what were they, and how soon before the travel date? Via email, website and/or app login?

Looking to secure the upgrade sooner than later if possible. You can PM me directly if you don't want to clutter up this WA forum with Emirates info, but thought others might find it useful.

Thanks
TD
