Emirates Airlines Skywards - Sellected Seat Issue

I am not sure if this an equipment change or my selected seat has been changed, but when I went to print a hard copy of my e-ticket for a flight from Birmingham next week I notice the actual seat number was not shown for the first sector EK038 BHX-DXB.

It is shown as a 777 300ER, I think it may be equipment change to a 2 class from 3 class the drawing indicates 3 classes but Y starts at row 7?

Also I tried to change my seat, had an idea that possibly one reason why I do not get upgrades at BHX is possibly I am always sitting at the front of Y and they call passengers to the gate for the rear seats first and probably just select the first SFU's that turn up so I tried to change to a seat in the rear section but the system will not accept the changes, any ideas?

I noticed that if a flight is full and closed out that the days preceeding the flight you cannot change seat selections-- even if they actually show seats available.

I amways try to take the first row of Y and that has not stopped the one op-up Y-J

check seatcounter or KVS etc at th eloads to see if Y is zeroed out

Thanks for the reply, the flight is full, probably due to the F1 this weekend in Abu Dhabi.

Just had Email regarding my connecting flight, EK372 DXB-BKK on the A380 offering me upgrade for 1490AED, this flight looks like it is full in economy but £250 for one sector even on the A380 just not worth it and even if I did upgrade what's the chances of an equipment change?

Fingers crossed for an operational upgrade.;)

I've seen the seat selection on emirates.com show First and Business even if the plane is J/Y.

Cheers,
