Videos like Neistat have such free PR appeal it's unbelievable. All the millenials want to fly Emirates after a video like that. He is in the top5 list of vloggers that rich young people watch for the latest gadgets/travel etc.

Exactly! And not so young and not terribly rich (looking in the mirror!) as well!

I don’t see it as a PR negative at all, no matter how annoying the reviewer is - EK got Jennifer Aniston and Jeremy Clarkson in so they really have a demographic scattergun approach.

Pretty smart cheeky to put a 777 with the new F cabin on the just announced route to STN... good way to draw some high rev traffic from LHR and LGW!

Yes - but now 184 shows 8 F seats on January 3 in a 1 X 2 X 1 when previously it was 6 seats 1 X 1 X 1.
Same on January 10 for 183.
Ugh. This is why I took EK on this route.
It looks like Geneva has both 777-300ER aircraft on this route for these days.

I doubt it - it will ikley be a change fee and fare difference. They may be sympathetic if you say you booked for new first as they advertised it, however they don’t guarantee a specific plane usually and that’s probably not a reason to allow you to move destination without charge.
