ft101 - do you know this just from checking via MMB? On flights to and from Singapore we've had aircraft changes and despite checking a few days before our flights and checking in on-line, we've had seat changes. Is there a better way to keep a watch out for changes?
Also, I'd love to use points (as they're not easy to use for anything else!) to upgrade us to F on the return from Sing to Dubai but according to expedia no one has booked an F seat on that route yet! Are they likely to downgrade that flight to a 2 class?
I'd be grateful for any guidance.

As it's a busy time of year (and I'm ever hopeful of an op-up) I'd been checking loads by doing a dummy booking.
I noticed my flight on 4/1/15 was no longer offering first so checked a few days either side and saw the others.
Roughly 80 more seats in Y available on each flight.

Which aircraft?
We're flying from Newcastle on EK36 on 20th Jan. It's a 2 class flight.The plane is a 777-300ER and our seat choice was made from the usual presentation by Emirates showing seating 1-5 in the first business class cabin and row 6 in the mini cabin just beyond the galley. This has always been the screen presented to us by Emirates but often on boarding it has been the plane with the 2 rows in a mini cabin in the front (maybe this is a 3 class plane?)
We currently have seats 5 A and B selected but I gather from reading on here that 5B might not have been a good choice and I know my husband would appreciate the privacy of that elusive mini cabin! Just how soon before the flight would I be able to determine which aircraft we'll be on? In the past I've checked the seating guide again before checking in on-line but it's always shown the original screen, even when the aircraft flown has had the front mini cabin!
