I am surprised about EK apologetics like you - why do you defend EK on policies that hurt frequent flyers who do not have the time to show up at the airport 3 hours before flight and/or are based in Dubai?
Different airlines, different (dis)advantages. So, in your opinion, should EK start doing opups based on who paid most for a ticket rather than on tier status, like LH is doing?? I find this behaviour of LH much more hurtful towards frequent flyers than EK not blocking adjacent seats or reserving exit rows for them...
