fyi, when I check all my future flights using the Emirates App on my phone it states on all of them that check-in is 48 hours before my flight

Ah. Interesting.
I went through all BP from Jan-2014 to Dec-2016 (don't ask). That's close to 150 legs.
The best I got is Seq 28.
I haven't checked 2017 ones, as they are at home base, but I don't think I'll have better.
But very strangely, the "worst" is Seq 510 for a B77W ?!?!
Can anybody explain ?

Just to add to the SEQ debate , i believe EK now " check you in" for your return flight when you check in for the first outbound segment , as i remember having a fiddle once checked in for the first part of the outbound segment and finding i had been assigned a SEQ number already for my inbound flight ? Did think it was strange but nothing of interest ....

No. It was a standard outbound flight which is due to fly back immediately to DXB.

I would call in advance if you're just using cash to pay the fare difference to guarantee your seat.

I'm in your gang now too, and also not with Emirates. I actually got it when checking in a couple of days ago, but never noticed until now. Second leg of EDI-AUH-BKK with Etihad. Bonus upgrade to J at the gate.
