to change (now), or not to change
I'm doubting between choices...

I'm flying BRU-DXB-BKK-HKG-DXB-BRU in J in a few days, and since it's not yet 100% clear if the airport in BRU will be open, and if EK is flying to BRU, I can change my flights free of charge from/to AMS.

PROs
- I can leave the night before since AMS has a night flight to DXB, giving me an additional day at destination
- It's 5x A380 instead of 3x A380
- More chance of actually leaving than when flying from BRU these days

CONs
- EK refuses to pay for the train between BRU and AMS, even though European regulations oblige them to do so.
- My seat selections will be lost (I have even window seats on the A380) and those flights look very busy so I might be "stuck" on a couple seat in the middle.

If I don't decide now, I might be forced to change later to departure date with even less availability from AMS.

What would you do?
