All was set for tomorrow's flight to SIN, 7A/B allocated.

At T-26hrs, 7A became 7D, and 7A was no longer available. (Checked in for one of us already as it's a connecting flight).

EK agent claims 'equipment swap' (yeah right this is 77W since ever, and it's the same configuration anyway). Despite showing F4 A3 J7 C7 I7 O0 P0 Y9 E9 R9 W9 M9 B9 U9 K9 H0 Q0 L0 T0 V0 X0, it's 'a full flight sir'.

So are we in a op'up situation here? How could this happen?!

I know seat assignments are not guaranteed but this is the first time ever that I find a seat assignment gets shifted overnight!

Ooh and the agent insists: ALL of row 6 is already occupied/booked. I thought this was only possible at check in.
