And to answer the question...
I think you need to specifically book to ZJV (Abu Dhabi Bus Station) to get the free transfer. Not sure if you can do that on an F award.
Mixing with a lot of smelly Y passengers would not be my idea of fun. I think I need to go for a lie down just thinking about it!

Technically it is for Economy class passengers only - you would need to call EK in any case to book it so if you give them a call you may find an agent willing to book it for you.

I will be on a four-leg EK trip (on 3 different days: 1-1-2 legs). I'd like to credit the second leg to AS and the other three to B6.
Will I need to (will it work to) put in my B6 FF number initially, then change it to AS after the first leg, and then change it back to B6 after the second leg?
The ticket will be booked by a TA. Can she put in the B6 FF number for 3 legs and AS for 1? Or is that risking things getting mixed up badly? I don't want but the one leg credited to AS.
Thanks!

Hi there,
Newby here so sorry if I post in the wrong thread or the pic doesn't upload.
I'm flying EK from SYD to Europe via DXB.
Normally EK operates 3 class A388 for that route but when I booked my ticket, the seat config was shown as below, which looks like 2 class A388 seat configuration (there are 3 seats on each rear side of row 80)
Are there any possibility that EK have changed SYD DXB route with 2 class A388?
Also
why do the seat from row 82 to 86 was not shown?
Thanks in advance.

I have read that EK is generous regarding carry on allowance. My Bolero 37L is good for Star Alliance (55x40x23cm) but obviously not Emirates with stricter allowances: 45x35x20 :-(
So i'm a little bit hesitant to take it with me on my CAI-DXB-BKK-USM trip in F, what do you guys think?

If it's too big tricky. Size is more an issue than weight

It's always going to be a gamble, and even if the odds are in your favour (as they are here IMO) it pays to think "what if".

BKK-USM might be a small problem depending on the aircraft involved, but I don't think you will.
