Bit of a joke but nobody is willing to help at emirates. The flight load was the same before they sent the offer and is still currently showing the same number of J availability after the offer was sent.
Worth asking at the airport? In the past i've accepted upgrade offers 24hrs after initial email and got them no problem
The upgrade offers book in ‘P’ fare class. In the past, this was visible on ExpertFlyer, but that unfortunately has disappeared (just like ‘D’ and ‘Z’, which are the e-business and first award fare buckets).
What has probably happened is that the seats that were made available in ‘P’ were sold, it has little to do with current availability in O, I, J and C buckets.
You can always ask at the airport, but chances are you will be quoted the fare difference at that time, which may be more than now.
