When I was 13, I used to use my parents miles to upgrade myself leaving my poor sisters in Y. I was deemed a horrible child and am told (till today) that my sister are 'scarred' by being left in Y. Truth be told they have no recollection but I still strongly remember the flights in J. :p

Lol. My dad only has ba miles n I only have ek so I don't fly ba anymore. So can't use his. My mom only has south African airways miles so also can't use em. I wish they'd just pay for me to fly J!!!

South African Miles can be redeemed for EK flights!

My strategy was to ask for the miles when my parents were very distracted so that they'd say yes to get rid of me. :D

I see we have a potential usurper in our midst. Welcome to FT Ahmed777! I'm not as evil as these guys make me out to be! ;)

I live in south Africa so I may be able to upgrade the domestic flight!! Lol 35 mins of J then 17 hours of Y

I'm pretty sure that's incorrect. Go to https://www.flysaa.com/ca/en/voyager...dForMiles.html

and scroll down to non partner award chart. Emirates is listed along with the mileage levels.
