I recently flew with them and they changed the return aircraft configuration and the seats we had booked no longer existed, we only found out when checking in online the night before, and they were useless at helping, the system would not let me change my seat, because row 14 was not recognised, it ended with the Emirates agent in the Maldives having to do all sorts of things to allocate us new seats I believe she cancelled our tickets and re issued them. But at least you have advanced knowledge of the change now.
Our agent told me today that Emirates ( and other airlines) don't attach much priority to seat changes, even to aircraft change although they do try to avoid changing from an A380 to any other craft because there isn't actually any other plane that would accommodate so many passengers. In the grand scheme of things, it isn't really a hardship. As long as it's a safe flight, I'll be happy. Mind you, I think we will probably check in online just in case there are any surprises.
