the first days there was no upgrade availability but yesterday it was possible. So my husband managed to upgrade his ticket but when I tried I got a technical error and trying again didn’t work.
i called Emirates and explained the situation but they kept insisting there is not availability to upgrade at this moment. Still weird that my husband managed and I didn’t. We both have enough points, so that’s not the problem. Emirates didn’t have a clear explanation for this, they just told me to try again in the next days, which I will, but I’m curious if I’ll manage, otherwise I’ll try at the airport. The flight is in 8 weeks. Did someone else experience the same?
