Miles upgrades on EK

Hi folks,

I just bought 2 tickets JNB-DXB-YYZ in business on Emirates. The fare is upgradable, but I have no status. The flight is in 10 months.

As I am new to EK, what are my probabilities of getting an upgrade from J to F?

Thanks!

You just need to keep a watch for award availability and if it appears, nab the upgrade

What the chance of availability is of opening up is hard to say

The best way is to pay and ex South Africa fares are reasonable. The flights do tend to go full so if you want to fly first you should pay for it - reward seats are hard to get especially in the summer months.
