What to do with my miles?
I have 92k EK miles and I'm wondering what to do with them. I looked at a flight from London to dubai and they were wanting 70k miles for a measly Ł200 off the flight. Seems pretty crappy to me.
I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice or tips on how to get value for the miles any other way
Thanks

In my view, the best value you get for miles is to use them to upgrade a booking. The miles required are in the mileage calculator on the website (under the ‘Loyalty’ tab). Be aware that when upgrading an economy ticket ex UK to business class will attract the higher APD.

If you don't want to spend much money you could fly Y one way out to DXB in Feb and book a reward ticket in J for the return for 70ish k. I'd get in quick as there are devaluation rumours afoot.

Maybe m3red can. It might be a glitch but he had some very high upgrade quotes come through J Saver to F. Nothing on the website suggesting it at the moment.
