It seems to me that is it extremely hard to find flights with A not zeroed on DXB-SYD/MEL flights.
Is it because of EK being so busy? or is it perhaps a policy to restrict award and discounted A fares?!
For example from 7OCT to 18OCT, there isn't a single SYD flight with a single A available. Melbourne is easier, but most are on the annoying EK408.
