1) Where are the desks for early check in? is it in the terminal as I have read a few things but not really clear.
2) In the past with Emirates I have managed to book the emergency exit seats at the airport but will this still be available to do about 14 hours before the flight at the early check in desk.
Any experience or advice welcome
Thanks
I'm not sure about all the rules checking in at the airport that early because once I tried to check in for EK221 at about 8pm departing at about 2:30am traveling in J, and was told I could not unless I had already checked in online which I immediately did on my phone and then they accepted my bags. Might have just been the bags that was the issue but it struck me as very odd.
Also, you may have been switched to a newer A380 which does have a seat in front of 68A/K but not 81A/K. This has happened to me where 68A/K became reservable about three days out which is usually never the case with EK exit row seats so still get to airport in good time if you're trying to snag unlimited legroom seats.
