Upgrade with miles at Check-In?
 

Hi All,

I did a search, but couldn't seem to find a clear cut answer. I'm booked on LHR-DXB in a couple of weeks in J (Saver Fare), and it's looking pretty open in F yet no award upgrade availability.

If there are still seats left at check-in, will they let me upgrade with miles? (No status)

Cheers,

Gabrca

Possibly - go to the EK desk not check in and ask, they may put you on a list and you may only get confirmation as you board.

On the other hand please keep trying - I've got a flight I want to upgrade to and EK are making it increasingly difficult even for us plats to get seats.

A quick search of the Emirates FAQs might have answered this:

Subject to seat availability, not upgrade inventory, however like m3red says recently they've been waiting until boarding to confirm in case they get a last minute revenue pax.

Call them up and do it over the phone. I did this yesterday (book J saver and upgraded to F for both wife and I).

That only works if there is availability or you get lucky

Yeah exactly - depends how busy the flight is - if there is availability you are all good but EK have been increasingly difficult with F reward space.
