Partner availability
I am trying to book a flight from IST to DXB in December of this year in Emirates Business.
The flight shows D availability on expertflyer and is bookabale through Qantas, but for some reason Malaysia does not have availability.
Shouldn't Malaysia see the same availability as Qantas?
Thanks for any info.

What is BR to AU? Brasil to Austria? Australia?
Unless further information about what happened are provided, this seems to be just a useless rant..

Emirates cancelled my flight from SAW (Istanbul) to Dubai on 1-July-2016. Do I have the right to reschedule this flight from ESB (Ankara) to Dubai for the very same day without paying any fees.
Thanks for your help.

Usually when EK cancels flight on short notice, they're more than willing to show flexibility.

EK won't care about it being in your luggage.

With my next leg (DUS-DXB) I get Silver Status, can I use the Lounge direct after the landing in Dubai (I have a connecting flight with Emirates)? Or does it takes some hours till they recognize my Status?

As Saltire74 says you won't get the tier upgrade until a few hours after landing at final destination but perhaps tweeting @EmiratesSupport with a screenshot of your statement showing how many miles to Silver they could make an exception but don't count on it

It can take up to 48 hours to get your tier upgrade according to the email I received when moving up to silver.

Got tickets through a travel agent and they are endorsed ONLY CHK-IN REWARD UPGRADE.
The first bit is fairly self-explanatory- I can't upgrade until check in- but it's the second bit I'm confused by. Does this mean you can only upgrade using miles (I've never flown EK before so I don't have any, although I have signed up to Skywards because I might as well), or can one use cold, hard cash at check in?

EK will always love to take cold hard cash off you at any time for upgrades
Unfortunately, your tickets are through a travel agent, so they will not change the ticket to another fare class for you - you must go through the agent. They may or may not let you do a standby upgrade for cash, if they are offering though, but that is quite rare to see - only really done at US ports. In that case you will earn original mileage etc. as they won't change the the ticket, just your seat assignment.
