Hello everybody,

here is a question from a very unfrequent flyer:

We (this is Mrs PeterMaas and me) are looking forward to our trip to New Zealand in february. Our booking in Economy DUS-DXB-AKL (EK58/EK406 feb 8th/9th) and CHC-DXB-DUS (EK413/EK55 mar 7th/8th) was confirmed.

Then we thought upgrading to business would be a good idea, and the travel-agent was able to offer an attractive fare (in C-class I suppose). Too bad we endet up waitlisted on the DXB-AKL and CHC-DXB sectors.

What is your estimation about the chances to move from waitinglist to the desired seat in businessclass?? Any experiences in similar situations??

What, if it doesn't work out - do they keep our confirmed booking in economy? It doesn't show up in "My itinary" any more

Since not having a windowseat really makes me Iwould hate having to wait till the very last moment and finally ending up in a middle row of economy.

Any contribution welcome!

Greetings from Germany,

PeterMaas
