I can confirm the following:
EK021 DXB-MAN upgraded from 332 to 77W 01JUN12
EK043 DXB-FRA upgraded from 332 to 77W 01OCT12
EK051 DXB-MUC upgraded from 343 to 773 25MAR12
EK057 DXB-DUS upgraded from 343 to 77W 01JUN12
EK105 DXB-ATH upgraded from 332 to 773 01AUG12
EK107 DXB-LCA/MLA upgraded from 332 to 772 01OCT12
EK151 DXB-CPH upgraded from 332 to mix 772/773 01JAN12 then upgraded from mix 772/772 to 77W 01OCT12
EK382 DXB-HKG uprgraded from 332 to 77W 01OCT12
EK787 DXB-ACC-ABJ upgraded from 343 to 345 01FEB12
EK751 DXB-CMN upgraded from 345 to 77W 01FEB12

Lots of minor upgrades through out the year.
One other thing, must be a system error, but EK203/204 appears to only be a few times a week from 01OCT12 onwards until about 04NOV12?

Thanks,
CaptainEK Airbus

EK203/204 is Daily in October 2012.

CDG increases from 14 to 18 weekly from 25MAR12, 19 from 28OCT12

Already 3 class given the EK17/18 is the A380!

I assume you mean the EK19/20 evening B77W flight, as this is now showing on Emirates.com that reservation for F class is open.

So, within the space of 2 years, MAN has gone from just J/Y to all F/J/Y!

Whoops! Yes - that's what I meant.

Don't even bother posting it if it's from slot coordination. It confuses people especially those who don't know anything about this "Slot" thing".

Can you give heads up on the "slot"?

Not only that, slots far from guarantee a service will happen. At Manchester for example, Air Canada has applied for daily slots every year since they pulled out, with flight numbers, times equipment, the lot. However, its unlikely Air Canada will ever serve MAN again.

Welcome delta154. I recognise your handle from PPrune :)

Thanks DYKWIA.

If your a regular reader of PPrune, don't worry, I have calmed down since joining that site. I used to get annoyed at the wind up merchants who evidently had no idea on what they were talking about, Im just a nice calm source of information when I can be now. :)

True, however everytime I post info about a slot confirmation, it always seems to materialize in EK's case.

Eg. I posted about EK043/4 DXB-FRA-DXB, which later on was confirmed, EK071/2 DXB-CDG-DXB and upgrade of EK043/4 to B77W. Same with EK056/7 DXB-DUS-DXB upgrade to B77W. It seems EK are desperate to open up or increase services and always make use of slot awards.

True - isnt the reason it took EK so long to start AMS was lack of slots?
