Equipment change

Booked EK flight KUL-DXB in first (suite) class on A380, just because of the experience (otherwise I would chose any other Asian airport, as me and misses are flying to US en-route from CMB... )... now imagine my suprise as EK has changed the equipment from A380 to B77W... just for 20 days in January, and among those 20 days there is also our flight day... what can we do? There is no flight from KUL to DXB on A380... can we ask for another route that would include A380, or at least can we expect some hefty "sorry" miles... ?

I prefer First on the 777-300ER. Feels more exclusive (fewer seats), seems more spacious, larger windows. No shower, tho'.

Not sure about the miles but they'll should be able to book you on another flight without any fees...

As we are waiting 6 hours in KUL between flights, does anybody knows when EK lounge opens? Three, four hours before the flight?

Your main worry should come from the check-in counter... only 3h-3h30 before the flight
