What is e-ticket? It says there that if the TA didnt issue an e-ticket that means I havent fully paid the amount which I already did. My booking is also confirmed. Im consused. If my booking was already confirmed I should have gotten an eticket. Right?

Give Emirates a call. It sounds possible that the agent has taken your money but hasnt actually issued the ticket. Ask EK whether there has been a ticket issued

You said in you first post that you checked it on the emirates website using your booking reference. Do the same thing, and after you enter your booking reference there will be a tab on the side that says- eticket status, and if it says confirmed, click view and it will show your eticket. At the bottom of the page, it will show the amount paid for the ticket.

and email probably isn't the best way to contact them. I would just give them a call.

I did what you said but in the e-ticket box the is a question mark. What does that mean? And in the status box below it said confirmed.

It sounds like the ticket has not been issued. It really seems like it is time to pick up a telephone and call Emirates

Confirmed just means that you are booked on the flight and that you are not waitlisted or on request. The word confirmed doesn't mean anything of relevence to this

Last question, since the ticket has not been issued yet does that mean the TA can change the class? Btw, thank you very much for helping. I really appreciate you spending ur time helping me.

the agent should be able to properly rebook it and then insist that he tickets it immediately

This whole thing seems very fishy and I would be just trying to get my money back from the agent to be honest

The agent is either completely incompetant in not knowing that B is economy class or deliberately doing something iffy

Maybe he just gave me this ticket to shut me up. ( Did i say that correctly?) Because i have been nagging ( in a nice way if that even makes sense :D ) him for a week now about my ticket eventhough my actual flight is not until mid of july. Is it wrong to be excited? :D

I don't know why you should even have to nag him, but if you have to, you have every right to do so. It is his job to book your ticket when you're paying him so he should book when you want it to be booked.

Once you paid, the agent should issue the ticket straight away and if he hasn't then it is perfectly reasonable to hassle him to issue it

I would also be going in and sitting down and insisting that he fixes the class of service and make sure it is business class before leaving - or if he doesn't , getting the money back

nothing wrong with being excited

Maybe he still waiting for when he can upgrade my ticket using his miles coz I heard you cannot just do ut right away you still need to wait when it is available. Well goodluck to him I wish he would be able to do that before my flight.

The main point is that he shouldn't be upgrading using his miles. That means he charged you more for an economy class ticket.
This procedure is not allowed. Travel agents have to book the class of service you requested.

There is a chance that the upgrade seats never become available (if he is actually doing this) and you will have to travel in economy when he charged you extra for an economy ticket.

if that is what he is trying to do then he is issuing a ticket in breach of EK's terms and you could just find yourself paying out EUR2000 and being denied boarding

If you have paid him for a business class ticket , then he must issue a ticket properly in business class

As I said, you need to go in and get him to properly rebook you in business class ( that is O,I,C or J ) and get the ticket issued

Alternatively get the money back and rebook elsewhere and I would be writing to Emirates to detail the nature of what the agent is doing

If he was able to do so is it possible to upgrade all my flights to business? ( 4 flight in total ) or he can only upgrade 1 flight per book? Like let say the flight from larnaca to dubai?
