Pay to upgrade to Emirates business class | EK855

Hi travellers,
Is it worth paying to upgrade on a short regional flight?  Would you pay to upgrade to business class?  This video shows the process of paying to upgrade to business class on Emirates.

When I went to check into my flight I saw that there was an option to upgrade the final segment of my flight - Dubai to Kuwait.  It's about 1.5 hours so its not really necessary.  However, I had a long travel day and this was my third flight of the day originating in NZ.  So I decided to treat myself.  

It does not include lounge access in Dubai, which is a shame or chauffeur driver.  You pay for lounge access to the Emirates lounge for $100USD. 

I called to check the luggage allowance - it still remains at the economy 30kg limit. I also called to check if I could upgrade on the Christchurch to Sydney segment, there is no way that leg was going to be full.  However, it was not possible. 

It could be a good option, if like me you have a long travel day and the last segment is available - its nice to eat and drink well and spread out.  Or it could be a way that you could try business class for cheaper than the advertised price. 

My company paid for the economy flight, I paid for upgrade - 46KD.
