Nailed on. Make sure they on line check in

Ah, actually not silver...blue. Maybe not so good.

Doesn't matter. Gold, Silver and Blue are upgraded as per ticket price, not status (unless there are several people with the same fare bucket). There aren't too many Flex+ buyers though I would assume.

Anyone knows what's going on on the DXB-IAH flights? haven't seen Y availability for pretty much the entire month, while IAH-DXB shows plenty available even in Y Saver.

I'm flying 17/8 DXB-IAH on Bus Flex ticket. Any ideas how my opup chances are (Gold), or is it too soon to tell? EF says F4 A3 J5 C5 I0 O0 P0 Y0 E0 R0 W0 M0 B0 U0 K0 H0 Q0 L0 T0 V0 X0 so probably some upgrades from Y to J... Is the flight Plat heavy?

Decent, there'll probably be oversell in Y equivalent to total available seats in J AND F, so op-ups Y to J as well as J to F. That being said, EK are experts at load and revenue management so the flight might end up going out with no or barely any op-ups. On a Flex ticket as Gold you could be anywhere between 3rd to 6th in the list, but that's just a guess.

No dice for a free upgrade. They did offer an upgrade for £385 though.

And the Reason why they didn't was because people paid for it and there were people higher in the queue / it wasn't that oversold in the end.

EK573 Kolkata/Dubai on August 18th

Stats from EF today : F4 A4 J7 C7 I7 O7 P4 Y9 E9 R9 W9 M9 B9 U0 K0 H0 Q0 L0 T0 V0 X0

What are op-up chances?

Thanks :)

Assuming you're gold, it depends on the fare bucket of your ticket (special, saver, flex, flex+). I don't know the Kolkata - Dubai flights but from the above I think your chances are nil. Then again, 18th is still a long way ahead...

Seriously, what's up with DXB-IAH flights... I booked about 2 weeks ago and nothing in Y was free. I kept on checking every day on EF and nothing... Till today: F4 A3 J7 C7 I0 O0 P0 Y9 E9 R9 W9 M9 B9 U0 K0 H0 Q0 L0 T0 V0 X0
Strategic move of Emirates to increase the price?

The flight may be oversold, as only higher fare Y tickets remain for sale. It's hard to tell, I hope this thread doesn't become an eternal cycle of "how are my chances" and "we don't know" because ultimately, no one knows.

No seats available to choose!
 

Hi all,

I have just tried to check in for my Emirates flight and there are no seats available at all for me to choose. There were 3 but then I logged in later to conplete it and there were 0. What is likely to happen when I get to the airport tomorrow? Bumped off?

I am continuing my journey in a weeks time and notice all the seats have been pre-selected for me. Ideally I would like an exit row as I'm 6ft 5... will have to ask at check in for those flights.

any advice would be appreciated.

So you don't have any assigned seat for this upcoming flight? Your post isn't quite clear. If you already have one assigned and there are no others to choose then you'll have to wait for check-in. Same goes for you not having any assignment yet. At check-in exit rows will be opened up, so there are definitely blocked seats which won't be assigned yet.

In my experience, when a flight is full, Exit seats might be assigned 1 to 2 days before departure.

Sorry if I was unclear, 3 out of 4 of my flights have a seat already assigned. However the first one says incomplete and when I go to select one, none are available.
