Hi m3red

Thank you for your help & advice. I think we will go for J

m3red

I would And I have been doing since they seemed to have stopped First savers - I can justify F for long haul where I get 4 sectors in F with the price difference but not on a uk Dxb return - that's what miles are for

Looking at booking return flight x 2 passengers Jan 2018: BHX-DXB-KUL-LGK, is it possible to book J class for all legs one way, i.e. outbound only.


BHX-DXB-KUL- are with EK, KUL - LGK, are with MH

For the EK portions generally yes, you can select Business on the EK website for the outbound. You can also call. What's not possible is mixing J/Y on the same segment, i.e. BHX-DXB in J and DXB-KUL in Y for example.

Just noticed it's possible, proving J class is booked on all legs.


Thanks for the confirmation.

I can't add my Frequent Flyer number, it keeps giving me an error. I'm assuming this is because on the booked flight it gives my name as "firstnamemiddlename lastname" with the first and middle names connnected (is that normal? will it cause any problems?), and my account connected to the Skywards Number I'm trying to use just says "firstname lastname", no middle name, even though I definitely included it. How do I go about fixing this problem? If it's not the problem, any solutions? Thanks in advance.

You could try adding your middle name to your Skywards account as a first step, this may be easiest. I'm not sure if you are able to change your name on the account, though.

Then, in future, when you make a booking on the Emirates website you can login during the booking process and use the details from your Skywards account, this also automatically adds your number to the reservation.

If you can't change your name in the account and then add your number to the reservation (give it a few hours as well in case the two systems aren't in sync, I don't know if that would be the case), then you can try calling, if they can't add the number at least by calling they may be able to change your name on the Skywards account.

In future you can leave the middle name out, as long as your Skywards account also reflects this, the issue for this booking is that you'd need to change the name on the ticket to remove the middle name and EK would likely charge you for this (name change fee, if allowed at all).

Has Emirates changed the priority of seats 68A and 68K on their A380? I noticed during my recent bookings that these seats were crossed out along with the bulkhead and emergency exit seats, but when I got on the flights, they were not occupied.
I wonder if it was just a coincidence or if you need to request these seats at check-in now?

These have been classified as exit row seats for many years. There is currently an issue on 2 Class airframes where they appear to be selectable in advance which may be confusing things.

Booked business class, BHX > DXB > KUL > LGK, 1st 2 legs, A380, with selected seat reservation, 3rd leg is with co share Malaysia airlines, initial booking stated "business class / saver " on all 3 legs.


Having placed booking, under "manage my booking" Malaysia in not showing as business class / saver or offers seat selection, just flight details, is this leg just standard economy?

m3red

They have J on that leg - should be J...

fireflytraveller

Thank you, I'm unable to make seat reservation on this flight, would I have to contact Malaysia airlines for this?

m3red

Yes likely - don't get too excited the seat is pretty average and they don't even serve beer
