Calling up emirate to get cheap fares

according to this guy you need to call up the airline at 12:01am where the airline is based to get cheap fares
don't know if this works for emirates but according to him booking online doesn't work as al the inventory goes back in to the airlines reservation system when people book over the weekend then the ticket prices come back in on monday then onto tuesday which the airline make available on wednesday morning
watch the video better explanation
is it better to call up the airline to get a better deal than going online.
has anyone done that and with luck

OP, since it doesn't cost you anything why don't you give it a shot and let us know how it goes.
You usually don't have to wait long to get connected to an operator.
In essence you may stumble onto something useful that the FT community doesn't know about, otherwise it's just a few minutes of your time expended
