changing to an earlier flight at DXB
I am gold . I have booked a saver reward ticket. This is my outward ticket details.
27 Jun 2013 Hong Kong 19:05 Dubai 23:10 EK 0383 Economy Class Confirmed
28 Jun 2013 Dubai 10:15 Mauritius 16:50 EK 3703 Economy Class Confirmed
Its a 11 hour wait in Dubai for the connecting flight.
The earlier flight EK701 departs at 03.05 would be perfect for me, but only flex reward tickets are available currently on that flight.
Is there any chance that if I ask at Dubai when I arrive they can switch me to the earlier flight if there are seats available in Y? (I mean without using more miles or cash.)
Has anyone had that happened to them?
I have been changed twice to an earlier flight before at the airport, but only on paid tickets, not reward tickets.
