My flight to HKG is 1 in F J is going to go out quite full and Y is most likely over. They are still offering 2 Z seats (came up yesterday). That said ex MAN they didnt release until check in despite F being quiet.

I think you just need to keep waiting, upgrading J to F on the A380 is usually not a problem, Y to J on the other hand....

I'll report my experience with Z inventory.

There's the occasional three class 77W.

There are 2 Z class available MAN-DXB on Friday on the A380 flight. Probably a waste as I don't think I'll be in my seat more than 60 minutes.

Also 2 Z DXB-MRU. This is more tempting, but is a 777-300. Problems, problems...

Man dxb can be as short as 6.5 hours, I've done that flight if f and it was messy (remember the lost suits saga?! ;). ). If I had the choice I'd go 380 mru has frequent swaps and the 773 is not worth an upgrade. When I'm in suites I don't bother with the bar generally.

Hi ScubaDeano and welcome to FT!

My mom tried doing this in BLR for BLR-DXB-BOS. They refused to help. She asked again in DXB but they said she had to pay $3000 or have the miles. Not sure about your route though.

I think the OP is asking about a miles upgrade. Emirates don't usually offer upgrades for free just because you ask. They are given to passengers with status (and rightly so)

I get that, just giving information on how much you had to pay and a family member's experience.
