I face the same problem at times
The results frequently differ between Galileo & WSpan & Sabre
Although Galileo & seatcounter.com / expert flyer always match
The thing about emirates.com is that EK has complete control over the availibility and prices that they serve up to users.
Hopefully some EK lurker can answer this question.
EDIT: Forgot to add that this has everything to do with POS on KVS Tool. Avoid using a US POS for better results
Some additional info for the EK lurker so she/he/it can give feedback. Search results for EK123 on March 12
