Emirate Skywards - Upgrading Someone Else - Quick Question..

[NicoG]

Hello All.

Despite having thought I'd seen this somewhere on the Emirates site, I cannot for the life of me find the answer now...

So, is it allowable that I use my points to upgrade someone I am travelling with from Economy to Business?

If so, do they need to have a skywards account themself?

Thanks in advance

Nick.
