Tickets were booked as business saver outbound, economy saver return.

I'm considering upgrading to business class for our return joinery.

Am I likely to incur cancellation fees if I upgrade to business class for the return journey?
No, cancellation fees are incurred for cancellations. You are changing your ticket, however you won't incur a change fee either, as this is waived for upgrade to a higher class of travel.

EUZ, EUY have been delivered since august, EUT and EUW should have been, I don't know their status.

EK has slowed delivery to approx 1 a month right now so not a lot of new A380s coming out. Expect #100 to be unveiled/delivered around the time of the Dubai Air Show (my guess, not confirmed, but the timing works out, currently 98 in the fleet).

I don't know from which delivery onwards the new lounge is installed, but it has been delivered somewhere because there's been a reference to it by someone here who's been on it

Ive had the new lounge twice last month, Dxb Kul ek342 and Kul Dxb ek343

A6-EUX onwards, so a grand total of three aircraft, all of which are two class I believe.

^ I'm always amazed that some airlines either (a) make this difficult or (b) do not permit no-fee changes to a higher cabin at all...

Strange thing happens today. I have my flight departing Oct.21 (2 legs). I had chosen my seats in advance for all 4 legs (2 out, 2 in). I went to Manage my Booking today and the seat assignment for leg 1 disappeared (as I have no seat assigned)!
I picked a normal aisle seat, nothing special.
The flight is zeroed in Y and few left in C.

Maybe an equipment swap or general IT bug

Have experienced this a few times. At OLCI it just issued the BP’s with the expected seats. Seems an IT bug as skywardshunter also suggests.

On a 777? More likely a bulkhead (with bassinet).

How is it with chauffeur service on F tickets booked with Skywards points? Is it also discontinued or is that only for award tickets booked on other programs (Alaska etc.).

Does anyone know what the breakfast service is like in J on a flight out of DBX to BKK at 03:30 ? Is it served at the beginning of the flight or near to the end ?

Could some one give me a link to how many seats a week EK to Australia, and how many more are in the pipeline please.

Also how many weekly flights there are to Australia, and how many more flights EK can add before the air agreement is maxed out.
