Oversold flights
Do EK ever stop selling first if y is so heavily overbooked?
I've got a flight in j, y is zero j is 7 and 2 or 3 and f is now 0. F was 3 then 0 then 3 now it's 0 again...and no seats have been selected is still 3 spare.
Makes me wonder if they've stopped selling f as they would have to off load too many pax?
Anyone seen this scenario?

Someone such as yourself - who generates a lot of revenue for EK as a result of actually flying with them (and very regularly so) would, as you know, always have less priority than an AS redemption.......

On the other hand, they could be juggling with the F inventory / loads to ensure that a couple of seats are left available - just in case someone based in the US wants to book a last-minute award (in F, naturally) with AS miles.
