(maybe it's unlocked for you, as you have tiered status)..
EK code share? Is AKL-MEL on a QF aircraft? B737 or A330? Hopefully not on JQ. Am reasonably sure EK does not fly AKL-MEL. EK is due to restart flying SYD-CHC from late March 2023.
With QF mid-top status gives you access to "preferred" seating on QF. Which is just at the front. With QF exit row is not in the preferred seating group.
At T-80 more seat options open up on QF. Including row 4 on the B737 if not already taken. More leg room than the exit rows.
