During the fare sale the difference in cost between J and F from DXB -> BKK was only US$400. I am not sure what the price difference is now, but it may be worthwhile looking into the cost to change to F. The money is well spent, especially if you are on the 380.

If I just book the J fare to BKK can I ask to pay cash for the Upgrage and pay that sort of fare difference?
I was looking to jump on the EK418/419 rather than A380 based on more chances the plane being full on 418/419 and more chance of an upgrade?
Right or wrong thinking? or how shall I do it as I dont have enough miles to ugrade.

P, A = First
J, C, I, O = Business
Y to X = Economy
So for and op-up your ideal scenario is P4 A4 J0 C0 I0 O0
