New seating layout?

Flying next friday BHX-DXB on EK38,looking at seat plan in MMB,it shows economy rows 7-50,and seat 49k as a single seat.I've never seen this layout before,and wonder if its an error?As a side note i paid Ł397 for ticket 2 weeks ago,checked yesterday and price had shot up to Ł970,talk about supply and demand!

If you discard the 49K on it's own, isn't it just the normal 2 class 77W? Business up to row 7 and then economy at the back.

Enjoy your trip. I fly this route about twice per month now, but all my planes are the 3 class 77W in the system.

When did EK introduce F from BHX? Timetable still shows:

To Dubai (DXB)
Daily 1320 BHX 0015+ DXB EK040 77W/JY 0 To 27Mar
Daily 1415 BHX 0015+ DXB EK040 77W/JY 0 From 28Mar
Daily 2020 BHX 0715+ DXB EK038 77W/JY 0 To 27Mar
Daily 2120 BHX 0720+ DXB EK038 77W/JY 0 From 28Mar

They only sell a 2 class service, but mostly fly EK38 with the three class 777 and J class passengers can select to sit in F 24hours before.

Oops - I should have known that. I've read it on here a few times.

Do they use a 3 class aircraft all the time for EK038 or is it pot luck?
