At what point pre-departure does Emirates hand over its flights to airport control and what then is stopping them allowing miles based upgrades to First assuming there are empty seats showing in First?
If there are seats free in the last minute before boarding, what rationale would they be applying to deny an award upgrade at that point?
And would they ever deny the upgrade once on board itself (assuming seats are vacant in First).
