It is definitely not legitimate, though it may work

when I tried in the website it was clearly stated

which is the website?
My initial ticket was paid for by my employer via CTA. Spoke with them and didn’t have any issue with me upgrading. Although I had already flown the outbound and EK technically had ownership of the ticket by then, they had to do a re-calculation and rather than hold me on the phone, promised to call me back which they did.

If if your employer allows, give EK a call.

Legitimate in the regards to it isn’t a scam and you will get the miles in your account once paid. If EK found out, you probs would have your skywards account shut for breaking T&C’s.

Just some simple upgrade questions so hopefully I can ask in this thread rather than starting another.

I have accepted an upgrade offer (from economy to business). I am flying from DXB. Do I just use the normal economy check-in or go to the business/first check in?

I don't get lounge access as part of the upgrade. I am EK silver though so I understand I can use the EK business lounge anyway at DXB? Do I need my EK silver card or is my boarding pass enough?

Many thanks.

just boarding pass and I would use the J check in. Technically you're entitled to priority check in as Silver anyway

Indeed, try the Business check-in. However, as by the rules, you would still need to use the Economy Silver check-in, since this is considered to be the priority check-in for silver in DXB

you are the most un-dubai expat ever.

j check in of course so get the cab to take you to the biz and first area and then as silver you will have lounge access in Dxb.
