While waiting at check in desk, I made friends with an ek cabin crew who was flying standby too (alas she didn't make it...). She had an app that showed capacity on y,c,f, and how many pax had checked in. It was pretty neat. Despite my best efforts, she couldn't share!

My ek y experience was...perfectly adequate, despite being stuck with a window seat. Now in first lounge at DXB.

WOW. Really wow! So big!
The app is called FABS and lets EK Staff see availability <72h prior to flight departure incl internal load and standby pax. Unfortunately it requires an EK staff number and ePIN to access. I've been trying to figure out how to get access.
