Alone in F
I am flying a sector in F where currently I am the only passenger. I was wondering if that remains the case, is there a chance that they will not offer a distinct F product, but will instead offer me J service with the F seat? It is not a long-haul sector (AMM-DXB).
Has anyone ever been alone in F?

I ever flew F solo from SIN-CMB on a SIN-CMB-DXB flight. As there are direct connections between SIN-DXB, few pax would opt to fly via CMB.
During the SIN-CMB sector, I received full F service, including amentiy kit, PJs, slippers and a full F meal. The purser even joked that I'm in my own private jet!

I've flown alone in 1st a few times over the years, both short and long haul. Have always had a full service apart from the one time I was told that the cabin was going to be a J service. In this case over booking had taken place and as I was the only 1st passenger they had decided to do this. IIRC I had a refund of the fare difference and also some mileage as a good will gesture. Stangest time was on a night flight 747 many, many years ago on UL as the sole passenger.

2 years ago I was alone in F from SYD to AKL on the A380. I got full F service and extensive 'fuss'. I was actually quite embarrassed! To top it all I then got a visit from the Captain! After that I decided it was time to close the suite door! Oh and I got allocated 30 minutes in the shower! On my return trip as I was boarding the Purser cheerfully informed me I was the only person in F again! She must have noticed my face as suddenly a few people were upgraded from J to F!

F & F
As long as Y & J is not overbooked you can expect to have a quiet cabin in F as EK is not low down any more in F as there are no more promo fares on offer ex ATH or LCA.
In all my F only flying with EK (6+) yrs on an average I have rarely seen more than 30% as an average revenue occupancy in F.
Remind u this is an AVERAGE % taken on the whole pattern on flying in F including majority of the sectors in MLH,LH & ULH.
2 give u something to look at: Had an EK 773-300ER in F on ULH with Total occupancy of 11Y, 2J,1F and this was in Dec 2009. Ghost Plane

Sorry - old thread. Flew solo in F on EK 419 SYD-BKK a couple of days ago and my next flight is looking like only me in F too. I know it can change rapidly, but two in a row would be amazing.

I must say the F crews have been great...very attentive service even when it was a 14/14 load YYZ-DXB. Managed a whole bottle of Dom DXB-MLE last month, and the FA insisted on opening a new bottle MLE-CMB.

I was quite tickled that they connected the aerobridge at SYD for me, and closed the door as soon as I had boarded. I think I could have managed to struggle through the other bridge and turn left!
