How so? Other than a few fifth freedom flights, doesn't every Emirates flight either depart or arrive in Dubai?
I just cancelled an existing upgrade and immediately reinstated it at the 25% off rate. Completely seamless - so to me it's a very good promotion. Having said that, 25% is roughly in line with some of the "Miles upgrade offers" that appear now and again (typically 20% off).
