I have booked a promotional first class ticket to Mumbai from London Heathrow using EK 30 (18 june), EK 502 (19 june), EK 501 (20 june) and returning on EK 30 (August).

The Emirates website states that the first and last flights have private suites. It seems that the flights to and from Mumbai that I am booked on do not. However, I know there is a daily A340 500 flight to Mumbai which has the suites.

I would be grateful if anyone could advise me whether there is any way of changing my flight so I fly at a different time on the same day so as to be able to use the suites whilst avoiding paying a £300 flight change fee. Also if anyone could confirm if the EK 30 and 29 do indeed have private suites?

Also, I have made a hotel reservation in Dubai under the current emirates promotion. Can any one inform me whether I would have to pay a cancellation fee if I am unable to use it or to stay for the full duration I have booked?

Many thanks.
