Hiya all,

Just booked me on a trip to Joburg from Dusseldorf on EK.

Was able to snatch bulkhead aisles next to bassinet seats all along the itinerary. Meanwhile, put in special meal requests on all flights.

* Would ordering the special meal give any higher guarantee that somebody at EK wont re-seat me away from the bulkhead, before the day of the flight, maybe even after check-in? I know there might be babies next to me but I can never sleep on a plane anyways.

If not, then I wouldnt want to be stuck with special meal and a common seat!

I know that special meals prevent any upgardes to forward cabins. But that be wishful thinking.

Anyone any thoughts or feelers please....? Thanks!
