Crazy Emirates upgrade costs on SIN-PNH route

[Mattg]

I was just having a look at EK's SIN-PNH flights, which they operate as a fifth-freedom route. If you want to upgrade using miles on this route, Emirates basically charges the amount of miles you'd expect to pay if flying via DXB. It's a 2-hour flight, so the amount of Skywards miles Emirates is asking for is completely ludicrous.

I wonder if exPNH is bookable by phone?

Could be, I have never tried.. you can see availability on the return flight ex SIN.

From memory the reason this happens is because QFF can not take payment in Cambodian Riel?

Yes, it is bookable over the phone with Qantas points.
