m3red I'd recommend popping into an EK office somewhere in DXB and tasking an agent with getting it done!

Failing that there's always getting a full refund and getting a travel agent to sort things out for you - they might even be able to put you on one of the TG flights with an actual J class (or even F seats if you are really lucky)!
Dxb Hkt is fine we are in f so wouldn't change that.

The return - I wanted pg to a Bkk Dxb first flight but they said they couldn't get the pg fare...

As I said it's annoying but a first world problem and it's only 6 hours... I would prefer f given the flight time though.

Much more annoying is the difficulty in ek22 to ek18 at Xmas - surely it's straightforward even if 18 is more expensive?
