I have an F award issued AMS-DXB-DEL. Need to fly out earlier from UK now.
The DXB-DEL is only available in J. A quick call to EK I was advised that the flight can not be changed unless all flights are in F! Is that correct?
I don't mind flying J for the 3hrs and they don't seem to be releasing seats in F on that route.
Can't cancel and rebook as miles are expired.
Also this is a flex fare. I have been advised that I need to complete the return journey within 3 months? I was under the impression that all flights needed to be taken within a year?

They've 100% stopped issuing them and the website reflects as much. Twitter Team also confirmed. Picking up in DXB is an option but as most won't do it I think they won't expect the card onboard for the upgrade. The purser's tablet has your real time status and mileage information on it, they probably didn't have that when the rule about physical card presence was introduced

I have 120.000 miles available. If i would book the following flight:
If i book business it states upgrading is 52.500 miles. BUT my question is: is this for the flight AMS-DXB only or includes the DXB-BKK flight aswell (As this is multistop booking).
And because it 'offers' it is it 100% guarentee it's available for that flight? As in: can i straight away upgrade after the booking with the miles? Also: does it add extra fees with emirates or is it just the miles?
Thanks!

Availability is not guaranteed.
No extra fees except when upgrading Y to J ex UK (Not the case here)

Actually, the 52k is AMS-BKK. It would be 30k AMS-DXB on a flex.

Also... I see AMS-BKK is quite reasonable... around €2000 in J saver. And then 68.5k miles to upgrade to F. Very tempting!

I think they only do that when the stopover is in DXB. I was not able to do it with a stopover in BKK.

Hi all, recently joined EK skywards during my last round trip. My sister flew the same days as me, she was leaving from paris, i was leaving from tun. what was interesting, is on her account the miles earned will expire on on dec 2021, while mine will expire on sept 2022... same dates of travel!!! any reason why that might happen?
The second issue i had is they mentionned that i would get some sign up bonus miles, my sister got them on her account, while i did not. any reason why that might not happen, and should i ask for them?
thanks all for your advice
best wishes for the holidays
