Upgrade with Points During Check-In
Hi!
I'm travelling London -> Dubai next Saturday. My ticket is Economy Saver and I was hoping to upgrade to Business using points.
I made the mistake of not booking Economy Flex (which I think would allow you to upgrade anytime). With my Saver ticket you can only upgrade during the 48-hour check-in window.
Question - has anyone been able to upgrade during this window before? I'm guessing they only have a set number of available seats that they'll make available to customers upgrading with points?
Many thanks in advance!

The app won't show it as it's no longer a regular miles upgrade based on the miles upgrade fare bucket but rather based on space available, try calling.
