Yes, at the airport/check-in it no longer depends on Z availability but is on the basis of space being available

They start a waitlist on the day of departure. Any point at the airport you can join the list, then as the flight closes (exactly 1 hour before departure) they process the list, giving priority in the same order as op-ups. |

i can tell you don’t do this often - increasingly it’s not space available it’s done last minute at the gate |

Can it be done at the lounge? I was planning to use OLCI and I’m flying Delta into T4 at JFK. So was hoping to avoid going to check-in desk as that would subsequently force me to go through security again. |
An EK telephone agent told me last week that a Saver Business Ticket can only be upgraded to First (using points) at the airport, not before. True or False?

Question on 1st Class Points upgrade
Just booked a points business reservation for three of us MLE-DXB-LAX. One person on one reservation and two on another. I see an immediate upgrade on the single reservation for the MLE-DXB leg to 1st for 24K Miles. What are the chances 1 or 2 more open up? More likely to happen in under 30 days? 72 hours? Day of flight?
Thanks TD |

False (unless something has changed very recently).

I didn't book the ticket - based on this call - I booked EY instead :eek:...be interested to confirm 100% if thats the case or there has been a change!
I assume they got confused with Economy Savers - these can now only be upgraded at the airport. |

Boeing 777-300ER - How many seats for points upgrade?
Is there any sort of “normal” when it comes to EK releasing business to first points upgrades?
I have two reservations for our family of 3 more than 30 days out. We booked business class on points. Immediately the single person reservation shows an offer to upgrade to first for 24K Points. The other reservation for 2 has no upgrade offer if I take the single upgrade offer now, what if the likelihood more seats will become available before the day of the flight? Any idea how many? Thanks for any info. TD |
