Welcome back tezzer, haven't seen you for a while. And great idea to gift your daughter a flight.
Now regardless of the (awesome) merit, I don' think EK can do much when seats are not available. What do you want them to do? I guess there are a lot of (Gold members) customers like you trying to book/ gift a seat and they don't get one. The class is irrelevant imo.
However, there is this unpublished benefit that EK has a small capacity of seats for Gold members only. Apparently, even these seats are not available.
I'd sign up in Expertflyer and set up a seat alert. Crossing my fingers!
