If you cant switch to the 17, switch to the 19, as this is a 777 with F availability.
EK21 is a mixed bag, sometimes 2, sometimes 3 class aircraft, sometimes lousy old seats too, however at present my flight is showing on emirates.com via manage my booking as having upgrade availability to F, changing flight's isn't an option anyways due to my schedule.

So can anyone answer, how many more miles will it cost me to upgrade to first once on board?

It will cost you the same. Its only more expensive if you upgrade each leg individually.

For example, a SIN-JFK one-way upgrade from Y to J (Flex) is 67,500 miles.

If you did it SIN-DXB (32,500) and then DXB-JFK (45,000), it would cost you 77,500. Sometimes you have no choice because you may not be able to find availability all the way thru. By the way, these upgrade award levels are now officially outrageous (out of Australia that is)!!!!

For example, a SIN-JFK one-way upgrade from Y to J (Flex) is 135,000 miles.

If you did it SIN-DXB (65,000) and then DXB-JFK (90,000), it would cost you 155,000. Sometimes you have no choice because you may not be able to find availability all the way thru. By the way, these upgrade award levels are now officially outrageous!!!!

The oneway upgrade cost from SIN-DXB is 32.5k/42.5k , DXB-JFK is 45k/57.5k and SiN-JFK is 67.5k/85k

The rates you quoted are the round trip rates

However, if you do it on board, you can only do the leg you are currently on, so would be paying the higher amounts.
