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 |

If you booked on points, then I don't believe you can further upgrade using points. Unless this is some special "offer" - in which case, I wouldn't necessarily expect the offer will extend to the other booking.

I’m hoping to upgrade both legs of SEZ to DUB from J to F with miles. I have enough miles to upgrade both flights if done as one transaction but not enough miles if I were to upgrade each leg separately. If I upgrade one leg if/when there is availability will they let me upgrade the second leg retrospectively for the lesser amount of miles if availability opens up? |

1A & 2A Blocked out
I've flown to BKK from London 3 times this year and each time both 1A and 2A were blocked out. On two of the three occasions the seats were empty.
It's annoying as I prefer 2A and end up sitting in 2K. Is there a reason why they do this? Are they reserving seats for crew perhaps or am I just unlucky ? |

1A might be crew rest, 2A might be for UMs. Are you still unable to request a switch at check-in or the lounge?

I thought as much. Yes next time I will ask.

Yes, they will. But you need to do it through the call centre and quite possibly have to ask / direct them to combine the two upgrades. |
Anybody had much luck upgrading a DXB-LHR J-F flight with points, at the airport/lounge? |

yes but Lhr f loads are high so it depends on when you are travelling and what date |
