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

P is the discounted upgrade bucket, not a revenue fare, it means 5 people can still snatch the upgrade offer.

Good to know you are quite right as it is now showing P4

My email offer was for 3 legs but only visible when you clicked the upgrade me button I'm hoping EK384 on 16th will be on offer as it's the only leg in Y :-(

Hi All,

I have asked this question in another thread that I made, but thought to ask it here (again) as it seems like the more appropriate place to do so.

I'm flying on EK J class from YYZ to DXB onto my final destination and my return is is F class (paid upgrade from J).

I'm departing in approximately one month from now, and I spoke to the EK customer service about a possible email upgrade offer. They told me that from Canada it's essentially the same pricing structure as it is from the U.S. As of now, the upgrade price is ~ $1800 (I only paid $900 from J to F for my return), however the agent on the phone told me that the U.S. J to F upgrades via email offer are usually about $900 and that if I get the email, it will be for the same.

Can anyone confirm this? As of now, only 4-5 out of 12 suites are taken on my route when I last checked. I did ask the agent that in the case that there are 1-2 suites left, would I still be sent an email upgrade offer and she said no.

She also told me that if you try and upgrading at the airport, it'll be a much higher price - any confirmation on this?

If anyone can give me some tips or help, I'd really appreciate it!

Just had the same price offer £358 MAN-DXB from Y to J.. we are 4 pax so need to ask a friend at EK about the flight loads as they have been having a lot of empty seats in Y from MAN-DXB recently so much so that they are looking at dropping one A380 for a 777 for a while. If we can get 6 seats between 2 Adts and 2Chd i.e. ill not bother with the U/G.No lounge access or chauffeur. if if was just me and Mrs MS we already be booking our J seats!!!

3 legs may have had availability but the price is per leg, is what I meant. And each leg has its own independent availability.

Never heard of a J-F upgrade offer, have you ever had one?

At airport it's always the full fare difference

yes of course you are spot on as always :-)

flyer_sam Jun 12, 2018 11:31 pm

I've never heard of it as well, but apparently and according to Emirates customer service, if the cabin has 3 or more suites available, they do send out the emails? :/

This has happened already during Ramadan. The morning flight is a 777.

If your flight is marketed by another airline (carries that airline's flight number) does this automatically make you ineligible to receive upgrade offers?

Bump. Anyone can advise on this?

Just noticed EK384 16th June not offered in the email upgrade is now showing p7 is a likely scenario they will send another email offer

Yes, however there is a chance that any unsold email upgrade offers may be offered at check in (if you ask and get there early). Have purchased an upgrade ex-UK on a QF flight number.
