Another question I'm hoping someonehas the answer to.

When you redeem miles to upgrade a sector, do Emirates take the miles out of your accoun immediately or wait until your journey has started.

I've just upgraded one sector of my journey and my miles are still sitting in my account.

Oh, one other question, does anyone know if EK20 man-dxb has the new lie flat seats in j class.

Cheeers,

Neil.
