EK upgrade chances
 
.....

Set your expectations to zero. Upgrades are typically based on status and you just happen to be flying a very elite heavy sector. And while I am sorry that you have an injured leg, be assured that the airlines have all those stories (real or not) before so a sympathy upgrade is also unlikely.

Why don't you buy 6000 miles (ie US$228) - you'll then have enough to upgrade the LHR-DXB sector (ie 25,000) and if you use ExpertFlyer, you will be able to check upgrade availability. (PS I just checked and there is ONE award seat available)

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

I wish you and ung1 were siblings.

Steel cage match for the upgrade.... :D

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 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.
