I assume from what you say re aircraft availability around late November that there is a means of seeing in advance what equipment is allocated to any given EK flight. If so, can you please point me in the right direction..... ?
Thanks.
I think that its hard to see anything seriously unreasonable in a change that has been communicated to passenger 2 months in advance where it is possible for the relelevent impact to be 1 hour. Type of aeroplane is not a guarantee when purchasing a ticket. a 380 is not a downgrade from a 777
If type of aeroplane is important, then can always take the next flight out of Gatwick. The impact of this is a lot less than would be by other carriers who only have few services a day
I was looking on Expert Flyer and it shows a few days over a couple of weeks where EK16 operates without 1st class.
