Apologies for the delay, not long back and switched off from the cyber world whilst on trip. We did get an upgrade at the gate in DXB, a welcome surprise after taking the business offer GLA-DXB (bearing in mine we had a Y flex & both silvers). 14hrs in Business to SYD was excellent and a big relief as we were dreading the flight after the initial luxurious hop.
On the way home SYD-DXB, a couple in front of us received a bump up at gate as we boarded, as we were Y saver tickets, unfortunately we were at the back end of the op-up queue! Any idea how many pax were op-up'd on this flight? EK415 on 17-Jan-2018.
How did you fair on your flight - did you get bumped up?

Quick question. I received the email for upgrade offer from Eco to Bus. Which tier miles i get if i went ahead with it. The original Economy or the Business? I don't mind it about lounge access as i have it and not interested in the Chauffeur drive.

Thanks then the amount is not worth it for the sector i was offered. If it would have earned the business tier miles it would have been worth maybe.

Just had an offer of GBP358 LGW-DXB from Y to J which seems a good price but to suffer my 384 in Y DXB-BKK is a bitter pill wonder will they offer this in an email is it normal to have seperate emails per sector or do they usually offer the connecting flight if available in the same mail?

Currently
J7 C7 I7 O0 Y is showing 9 up to L
very similar to the EK16 except O is 7 & P5 so I guess some lower fare J buckets available I don't think BKK flights are very full the 384 seems the busiest - seems to be 18 unoccupied seats on the 384 about 24 on the 16

As a blue member, I received an email today for Y to J upgrade BRU-DXB on 30 June (18 days from now) for 441€. I would have hoped for such an offer on the onward journey to KUL, but no emails so far. BRU-DXB seems wide open (which is odd considering the date) so I assume they want to sell their J capacity. Not sure if the upgrade for the 6.5h flight is worth the money...
