And status does not affect award seat availability. Best bet is to use ExpertFlyer to check availability prior to jumping on EK.com

You need to search for D class availability. EK's inventory management system has become tougher with releasing D availability, as the loads ex Australia are high at present. Seats should be released closer to the date. The best thing I would do is set up an account with ExpertFlyer and put in...

You should be able to swap without a reprice as long as there is A seat availability on the A380...I've done it plenty of times. If you share some more details on date and destination, we can check...

I would be eternally grateful if someone (anyone) can guest me into the BNE lounge. Although I am quite fine sitting outside because the wifi works just as well. You can berate me for not taking care of my status match when I should have. I am the old guy sitting outside, looking dejected...

What route are you flying? There aren't too many 777's running around with the old F config (and there certainly aren't any on the routes I fly in Asia Pac). Here's an image of the old F seat http://www.seatmaestro.com/images/comments/1332284.jpg The new F (installed on the majority of the 777...

It's also the reason you should never write a complaint letter to an airline/hotel/restaurant without asking for something in return. Ask yourself - what did you want from EK? A phone call from the EVP of Flight Operations? Or perhaps Tim Clarke? They would have hardly communicated the truth...

In my humble opinion, you wont see any re-instatement of benefits for at least 2-years. The new terminal in Dubai is at least that far away. EK is battling a few fronts. One is impressive growth and high load factors. The other issue will be the quantity of A380 airframes they will receive...

Clifford, I take your point. A lot of the content above could be found online. But a lot of it couldn't. Try and Google the EK Operating plan for 2011/2012 and see what you come up with? And I believe we have the most up to date seating type by specific airframe (down to the actual reg...

I think its one of those internal things - but something that QF would never acknowledge publicly. Remember when QF1 decided to create the 19th hole at the end of the BKK runway back in 1999 (VH-OJH)? That 747-400 had over $100M worth of repairs (and according to many, should have technically...

Clifford Aw, c'mon. we're not that bad. I prefer the term "enthusiastic" rather than "rabid". I quite like it here. I might even stick around - that's if I don't get thrown out before then...;)

Actually you can't transfer miles to your father in law. You can redeem an award for him (ie flight or upgrade) or if he joins Skywards, he can buy up to 25,000 miles per annum.

Relax. It will be populated a lot sooner than that. And besides, I have a "friend" on the inside ;)

Fleet/Network Expansion Emirates' aggressive Airbus A380 fleet expansion plan has been validated by analysts at the Royal Bank of Scotland, who do not expect the Gulf carrier to struggle to find enough viable routes on which to deploy its 90 aircraft. This independent verification comes as the...

Common Abbreviations The travel industry is full of abbreviations and acronyms. Life is easier when you learn the basics. For example, if you post anything to do with a trip (ie you want to ask for help on a upcoming trip between Dubai [DXB] and Munich [MUC], it's a lot easier for...

The EK Lounge Network One thing most EK travellers are in agreement with is the exceptional standard of the company run lounge network (ie showers, massage chairs, good selection of food, french champagne, excellent choice of wines, well equipped business centres, free wi-fi, helpful staff and...
