skywards first class redemption seats! help required
hi guys
Can anyone assist with the question below
Have been collecting skywards miles for a while now, managed to accumulate 850k skywards miles for 3 x redemption seats for July 2022 (lon-sin) rtn. However, it appears redemption seats on the first for more than 1x passenger is not available from any European city, nor for any months this year 😥
I am adamant in Dec 2021 redemption seats for more than 1 x passenger in emirates first was widely available. will they will release the first seats again, or have I missed it for this year?
Just to reiterate 1x passenger on the first is widely available, just not more than 1
Kind regards
Mo

I thought there were only a limited number of seats in first available to upgrade?? I managed to do it back in November for just me from Business to First - I booked and paid in full, then upgraded using the miles immediately afterwards. (I checked when I was on the phone that the actual seat was there to upgrade to - so very last minute). Hoping to do the same again next time!! First was AMAZING!

July is holiday season so flights will be pretty full. You may want to book the other 2 pax in Business if awards are available, with a plan to upgrade them if First becomes available, presuming they don't mind travelling in business if it falls through.

So, if you book EK J award and at some point F becomes available can you easily upgrade online and pay the additional miles? Or do you need to cancel the J award for a refund of miles and rebook into F? If neither of these, what would be the process? Thanks.
