Blocking a row in Y for EK Gold

Hi All

I was wondering if EK has a policy of "blocking" a row of seats for their Gold members travelling in Y? Basically allowing the member a row of 3 seats to his/herself. I fly SQ regularly from SFO and the local SFO SQ staff are great at blocking a row for me if the flight is not full.

Just wondering if EK entertains such a policy and if so who to contact to do this?

Thanks!

Ask at check-in.

I've had them do it for me a couple times on really empty flights.

I had a great FA come around recently (to all the Golds in Y, of which there were only a few) and show us to entirely empty blocks of 4 seats on the 380 - just before pushback when all pax were being told over the PA to sit in their allocated seats for takeoff.

After takeoff, a small bag with eyeshades, toothbrush and playing cards was delivered with a smile.

It was a better night's sleep than I've had in 'sleeperettes'...
