email off emirates..advice needed
 

emirates have sent me an email,telling me i can upgrade for ££££.dxb-man on the a330.should i just sit on this and hope i get the op-up.im a silver card holder

It all depends on how much $$$ we are talking here?

Personally I wouldn't part with too much cash for an upgrade on the 330 as it is among the worst J products on the fleet.

If you could let us know what date you are travelling, a kind soul may take a peek at the loads for you....

Given that you have received the cash upgrade mail I would suspect Y is pretty full and op-ups are likely. Your chances of bagging one will depend on the number of IOs and Golds in Y.

I had the same offer from them from MAN but on the evening flight about ten days ago, being gold, I thought the same as yourself good chance of a free upgrade, but wasn't to be.

But on a positive note I had a row of 4 seats to myself in Y, quite far forward as well, slept like a baby all the way to DXB.

Hope you get your feebie, but don't take it as read that Y is full. Agree with dxbtraveller pretty poor C product on the 330.

Regards

i fly out of dxb in the early hours of Sunday morning 11th sept.i had look on the emirates seat planner and it looks like 30 seats still to be filled,does anybody know how many skyward miles to op up for this route?

It's 25k miles from a flex ticket and 32.5k from a saver ticket to do a miles upgrade. Not worth it on the 330 though.

According to EF, J is wide open, hence the upgrade offer. How much do they want btw?

As ung mentioned a miles upgrade on this flight would get you a pretty raw deal (especially if you are booked on a saver fare), and you'd be pretty disappointed when you saw the J seat.

If I were you, try and shift yourself into row 16 (D or E)- that way you get extra legroom, and increased chance of an opup, especially if they need to bump you for a bassinet.

thanks very much for the feedback,looks like i made a bad choice on the 330.just checked and your spot on 32,500 op up,will pass.thanks again.sleeping pills me thinks ;)

It obviously depends how much "£££££" they are asking for the upgrade whether the offer is accepted or not. So, I will be the third person to ask the OP this question...maybe this time we will get an answer?

£280..im so glad i didn't take up the offer,i got the free op up,330 is a bit dated now tho.^thanks to everyone for the info
