Im flying out on EK 16 on the 10th. Have been trying to get a D seat but no availability so far. Looks as if J is packed. Its going to be th back of the aircraft for me this time.

On the other hand my DXB-DEL upgrade was sorted yesterday. I was constantly checking for the upgrade as I prefer getting a 2 to 2.5 hr sleep in the aircraft rather than staying awake before reaching DEL. I had set up an alert on Expertflyer . I was doing a manual check on Expertflyer and found a seat yesterday morning. The Expertflyer alert came into my inbox a full 6 hours later ( by which time the seat could have gone). I can see why they cannot do a check every second but doing once every 6 hours does not seem great IMHO.
