I'm booked on EK358 and EK359 (in july) in Y, what kind of configuration will be flown on that flight? The emirates website tells me I'll have new economy class seating, but with old ICE, is that possible?
I'm also booked on EK12 LGW-DXB on 12 July in Y, I currently have seat reservations on the flight. Will this mean the configuration will alter and I'll have to reserve my seats again?
I hope you'll be able to answer my questions, thanks!

Aircraft changes occur regularly on EK011/012 so best to keep checking your seating allocation online using MMB (Manage My Booking) and adjust according to your preference.

No additional destinations are planned in the 2010/11 operating plan. However the 2011/12 operating plan has some very interesting developments planned for the Americas with a few new destinations (in both North and South America) and increased frequencies to existing routes.
I was slightly surprised that QR beat EK on that one.

Air Berlin, Germany's 2nd largest carrier, will start Berlin - Dubai from November 2010 on. Pity, that the discussion on landing rights between Germany's gov and EK is still going on.

Thx for this. Will the aircraft be withdrawn from another destination or is there a new delivery out there?
