Upgrading to First on Emirates flights, QF ticket
 

Hi there

I am booked in business from AKL to LGW. The flight is ticketed QF from Auckland to LGW, and ticketed Emirates from LGW to Auckland. All flights operated by Emirates.

I have no Skywards miles but quite a few QFF points.

Is there any way to upgrade from J to F on any leg?

You can only use QF points to upgrade QF flights on QF aircraft.
In the QF manage booking do you have an red "upgrade button". Expect the answer is no.

QF or EK flight numbers? Who tickets is irrelevant
Real money will work for J to F at the full cash fare difference

How can they be ticketed by different carriers in each direction? Do you mean QF numbers to LGW and EK numbers back, all operated by EK? Who is the actual ticketing airline? Where did you book the flights?

ByoJet. "Do you mean QF numbers to LGW and EK numbers back, all operated by EK?" - YES
