Looking to book a one way mid-week end of February flight from HND to ORD (would settle for JFK or just getting back to USA).

If I book 2 J tickets with points does that change the upgrade to F process at all? If you make an award J booking, can you upgrade to F with points?

Thanks all!
As long as an Emirates first class seat is available on the day of departure, you can upgrade to it for a reasonable number of miles, even if you’re on a business class award ticket (this same principle works for upgrading from economy to business class, by the way).
