Now that is good for $130 who wouldn't

Now will Emirates give me a similar option on my existing Business class booking to a First Class booking.

I can live in hope.

Especially good considering that EK 412 is a A380 on Fridays,and also use of the lounge,very good deal I reckon.

What a great offer. It costs 220 Airpoints for an unconfirmed upgrade on Air NZ, and 1 Airpoint = 1 AUD when redeeming on anytime rewards.
