Interesting question. When I booked my F ticket LHR-DXB-AKL last week I wasn't concentrating, and thus I am travelling on the EK6 on 2 May LHR-DXB. EK6 shows as a 773, not 77W. Interestingly on ExpertFlyer and when I use Emirates' online Booking Manager, only two rows are shown.

I have already tried to get the LHR-DXB segment changed to the EK4 that shows as a 77W, however my TA says they can't do it as they say they'd need to change the entire outward segment, but as the 406 now has zero availability they'd also have to re-route me on a non-A345 DXB-AKL segment.

So I have some qeustions!

(a) Have some 773's been upgraded?

(b) Does the EK6 still have a slightly reduced meal service in F because it's a late flight?

Cheers, Howard
