Same for

EK 818 RUH DXB 8-Mar for F or A and it shows full availability whereas Sabre again shows zeros.

I am getting annoyed with this, am paying the premium fare fore more than 2 yrs now and EK's is getting more and more unreliable. What could be the explanation for this? Is EF's GDS not uploading as fast? Which system is EF's GDS actually based on?
I believe the problem has to do with EF using the USA POS, while you would need the DXB POS. I had the same problem in January with DXB-SIN flights. EF would show seats available - I'd call EK and they'd tell me there weren't any.
