This is why most tickets originating from SIN don't use EK433/404 etc (which start or finish in Australia) and rather random ones like EK352/349. You can waitlist but again that is problematic. The airline is a bit tardy in requests even tho it knows it has the seats. Really it's one big grrrrrrr

Correct, but IMHO EK should be a little easier on F pax as EK418 is the only DXB-BKK flight to offer F class.
