A quick note about the booking codes. It is by definition the same ones used in the main booking. If the airpass is booked in a lower cabin, then it's the J or Y.
As for next year's, no word on it yet. But I'll let you know towards mid March when I do my next set of bookings.

Price increases to Arabian Airpass effective start of March (even though it's not advertised):
For zone 3: Y/J/F they are in USD 165/400/455!
Was able to book mine on old rates today though.
So it's a 10% increase for Y, 20% increase for premium. Expect that Arabian Airpass will be continued for another year, at those higher rates though.

Has anyone tried to enforce the "Travel on the first coupon must be booked at the time of purchase. Travel on subsequent coupons may be booked anytime prior to departure." condition?
And I'm wondering what does it mean exactly?
Does this mean you book and pay for the first pair of coupons but can book and pay for the second pair at any time up to the date of departure on the main ticket, or does it include any time (even after having flown the first leg of the main ticket)?

The new price table is now live. Interesting to see how they brought up F fares for Child and infants in line with adults. While I could understand the child fare increase (seat occupied), I don't understand the logic behind the increase in infant fare.
It will be cheaper to book a normal return infant fare @ 90% discount (works out to be 280US return for DXB-BEY).

You in fact do not have to book the first coupon at the time of purchase but it must be booked prior to departure on the first international sector. Since you have to physically visit and EK office to issue the Aribain Airpass, you can purchase your ticket online and then purchase the Airpoass coupons at the EK office. You cannot add coupons after your first international sector but you can change destinations, class of travel and dates. Note that if you do change destinations or class of travel to a lower cost they will not refund the difference.

Just want to confirm.. If I buy a ticket today SEA-DXB-BEY-DXB-SEA (not counting on using the DXB-BEY as part of my air pass, this is part of the ticket). Could I show up to the NY office in a month and add an air pass? Or does everything have to be paid for at the same time?

Great, thanks! One more question..apologies if it was mentioned earlier. Do airpass segments earn flex or saver miles? I'm currently booked on a flex international ticket.

The same as your international ticket so flex in your case. Be careful when you book though cause it sometimes credit as saver.
