Thank you
I have bagged myself my first ever upgrade using Expert Flyer.
London Gatwick to Dubai (Return) in September.
Cost me an arm and a leg in terms of miles, 156,000 miles return for 2 people using Economy Flex Ł556 + Ł71 Upgrade tax per person! (Still 70% cheaper than full cost)
The Emirates call center were more than happy to help!
Thanks for your tips!
What's the Gatwick lounge like? Worth arriving early?

That's the only drawback of taking the A380 at LGW. The stand seems like its a mile away from the lounge.
The F&B, general lounge cleanliness , ,ability to sit in a relatively quiet area etc is way better than at LHR.

It is really long... Boarding was also in shambles... And I was in Y. There isn't enough space for the queue of passengers that forms meaning a lot of pushing and shoving!

I haven't been on the Y in A380 and therefore cannot comment .
Did have an issue while coming back to gatwick and had to deplane from from the J cabin via the stairs down to Y .
