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?
Our USA POS GDS for most searches is Sabre. You may have been looking at the wrong flight/day because both our USA and UK POS are showing F0 A0 for EK 818 on 8-Mar.

Again as we posted before, please try the new UK POS as it may provide better results.
