I don't believe the STN flights are heavily loaded in F, so there's generally a good chance of an upgrade.

Just looking at the next 3 days STN-DXB for example :-

29/12 - 2/6
30/12 - 4/6
31/12 - 0/6

So, pretty good chance of getting an upgrade on at least 2 of these.

I currently have business redemption seat but hoping to upgrade to First (have auto-upgrade on and checking regularly). Can someone kindly check the load for F on 5th Jan DXB - STN EK0065.

Many thanks!

EK 65 DXB 8:20a → STN 12:10p
F4 A4 J4 C4 I4 O0 H0 Y0 R0 M0 B0 U0 K0 Q0 L0 T0 V0 X0

So as it stands, 4/6 still available in F and 4/42 still available in J.

Thank you!

EK 216 LAX 3:35p → DXB 7:30p
F4 A4 J7 C7 I7 O0 H0 Y9 R9 M9 B9 U9 K9 Q9 L0 T0 V0
Stops: 0
Aircraft: 388
Frequency: Daily
Reliability: 80% / 49m

Thank you

Out of interest what do you think you have learnt from the info provided?

Maybe that’s there’s a chance to upgrade to C or F?

More likely that there's not much chance given the figures quoted.

Very unlikely for opup, but I would have thought reasonable chance of miles upgrade at check in. But of course 10 March is still a week away and a lot can change.

Will08's remark is quite valid, I think. Many people who ask for these 'load checks' (which they are not anyway), do not understand the meaning of the numbers.
All it says is how many seats the airline is willing to sell in the fare buckets concerned. And the significant thing is that Y9 means 'at least 9', it could be 200 as far as we know. '9' is the maximum number for economy fare buckets, and '7' for business and '4' for first (that's for EK and most other airlines but it can vary a bit).

Here ends the lesson.....

I asked for the load check to see how many seats were still available in business. We are hoping to do a cash upgrade from Economy flex. After the getting the info provided, I looked up the codes to see what they mean. I’m new to the site and still learning the jargon.

And that’s quite a good and valid use of the availability feature in EF. You will have seen that there are J Flex (but no Saver) tickets for sale. Expect to be charged the normal fare difference for a cash upgrade although you may be lucky and be offered a ‘special deal’. Last time mrs t was offered such a special deal it was still the fare difference :confused:
