EK348/349 going 2 class after NOV?
Just tried to book an F seat on EK349 SIN-CMB and noticed that it is operated by a 2-class aircraft. Then saw from the schedule that it is swapped to a 2-class 77W from beginning of DEC onwards. Anyone know why they have made this move? This has consistently been a 3 class route for quite some time.

Well they have already downgraded the route from Suites to Skycruisers. They either thought the yields didn't justify operating the cabin (if there were a lot of ex-CMB bookings), or that since they now have 3x daily direct SIN flights, few people would overflow onto the flight via CMB.

I need to change a j flight from DXB via BKK to DXB via SIN. I have a flex ticket. I can fly EK348 for 100 euros more, but if I want to go direct to SIN it will cost me 500 euros more. Does anyone know if this will change? I don't fancy the seats via CMB or the extra flying time. Appreciate help.

Are you sure, because the other flight on offer that is going direct to SIN is EK404. EK are showing different seats from EK348. However you are the expert ung1 so just checking again, because I am relatively new to EK after dumping Qatar Airways last year due to problems with upgrades and ground crew.

As for the 404, 352 and 432, they all have the latest product on the 777.
