Booked on EK414, Expertflyer shows flight wide open in Economy. Emirates Online booking has up to 9 seats available in Economy, yet EK staff says that the flight is overbooked and I might have chance of a complimentary upgrade! I couldn't believe that, so i went and called reservations in DXB, they told me that Economy is wide open, then I went and found another EK staff, and he confirmed the previous EK staffs statement that the flight is overbooked and upgrades will happen. How could these different sources conflict each other in this way? I will find out in 3 hours when I board.


P.S. I favoured this flight thinking it was wide open and that I would have four seat for my self instead of wasting my miles. I base my decisions on Expertflyer, EK online and reservations call center as well as EK staff in the airport.
