Before complaining, have you checked the loads on those flights? I just went to buy a full F tkt from JFK-DXB for travel in November & not only was the flight I want already sold out in F on that date, but the next day as well. If I want to travel on EK 202 in F, I must wait 2 days from my desired travel date (204 is avail but I prefer 202). If some flights are sold out (or close to it) in full F, you can't expect a redemption tkt

I'm not saying this is the case but you should check. I was pretty surprised my flights were sold out already 7 weeks in advance

**Never mind, I see you got your flights . But this is a good rule of thumb anyway
