I thought HAM no longer gets the new F suites.

Are there any reports of the new F going out of IAH or DFW or ORD recently? Or plans to come up that it will?

Just did RUH-DXB again last week. Expertflyer showed the new first all the way to boarding. But alas, it was the old. Kind of odd I thought that ExpertFlyer got it wrong. isnt that what we pay for?

What seat map did the EK website show?

ExpertFlyer only pulls the seat map from an airlines’ reservation system. Once airport check in starts, the seat map is handed over to the Departure Control System (DCS) for further seat assignment and changes. On some airlines, such as EK in this case, any changes in the DCS may not necessarily update what is showing in the reservation system. To avoid confusion, some airlines inhibit display of the reservation system seat map once check in opens. However EK did not do it in this case.

Any reports of any new F planes being subbed out on US flights?

Yes, occasionally. I think in this very thread.

While nice, the old F was nice enough for me.

Welcome back by the way!

No but I mean recently. It was over the summer that it was reported but has anyone seen one recently? And if so at what city?

And to answer the inevitable next question.... No, there's no way of knowing when and where they will turn up. :)

Maybe you could share how you look this up so anyone curious in future and help themselves. Teach a man to fish and all that

Normally I would just tell people to go search on theeksource themselves but it's been a slow day at the office :D
