Miles to upgrade now only available per flight

I notice a change in Miles Calculator, where it is now no longer possible to use miles to upgrade a multi-flight trip. Only individual flights.

For example, I used to be able to find the upgrade miles required for MEL-ADD. Now all boxes for this upgrade for all ticket types shows "not applicable". I can only find the miles required for the two component flights MEL-DXB and DXB-ADD.

This is unfortunate as previously the total trip upgrade miles were less than the sum of the upgrade miles required for each flight. This usually meant that a reduced number of miles was paid for one of the flights if the other flight was already upgraded.

Now it looks like it's only possible to upgrade one flight at a time, allowing Emirates to effectively charge more miles to upgrade multi-flight trips.

Has anyone else noticed this or have I not been paying enough attention to Emirates announcements?
