Hi,
First post so be gentle:P
Spent the last day reading through this subforum and seatexpert and seatguru.

My wife and I are booked EK from MEL to DXB (via SIN) and then on to MAN

I was with my poor travel agent who was trying her best to deal with Emirates over the phone to reserve seats. It seemed a lot harder than it needed to be. I've hurt my left knee a bit (nothing serious)last week and I'm 6"1 so was after a H (or D) seat. I also made a play for row 47 seats.

Apparently 46/47 A/B/J/K are reserved for Wheelchair passengers and not bookable over the phone.

This is what I ended up with:

6th Sept EK405 773 26A&B (Flight allegedly completely pre-booked, can't even move me to B&C !)
7th Sept EK17 773ER 49A&B
1st Oct EK106 773ER 38B&C
2nd Oct EK404 773 24J&H

Apparently according to EK the last two flights are both bulkhead seat allocations. This is different to seatexpert/guru's seating plans all rows are out by 1.

I'm a little worried about the row 49 allocation. Does that mean they wont recline.

Any thoughts/opinions before I fly out in 20hours or so?


Thanks in advance

Nick
