It also shows Chauffeur Drive despite this route not being eligible for that (and awards tickets especially not).
Maybe it's overbooked in J and are looking for ways to capture revenue/reduce miles liability instead of giving it away free for op-ups. But you're right, EK IT can be pretty bad and customer service can side with the system.

Anyone else have an opinion on this?
