Any Emirates Skywards member can spend Skywards Miles on instant upgrades at the check in desk or take advantage of this service on board the aircraft. You can also spend your Miles on instant upgrades for travelling companions. Simply ask one of our check in staff or crew members to assist you.
Please note that instant upgrades are subject to seat and catering availability as well as applicable upgrade restrictions*. If you upgrade at the check in desk, you will continue to enjoy the benefits of your upgraded class of travel (airport lounge access and additional baggage allowances). However, these benefits are not applicable for instant upgrade on board. Instant upgrades are currently not available to Skysurfers.
*Emirates Special tickets can not be upgraded. Upgrade Reward requests must be made at least six hours prior to departure. Economy Class Saver tickets can only be upgraded at the time of online check in, at the airport or on board.
