MNL DXB Flights

Hi guys,

Wanted to find out if anyone has some insight on how are these Manila - Dubai flights usually? Are they overbooked in Y? Premium heavy? or how do they go out usually. Planning to travel next month first week!

Thanks

J can get quite busy with your usual GO/NGO and commuter types. Very few pax in premium cabins there because they're going on holiday ime.

Lots of op-ups though, last time I flew it was at least 20. Good if you have Plat or on a Flex/Flex+.

Hey guys, just had 2 questions (MNL/DXB)

On 11 Nov EK335
What could you possible infer from a flight showing J5 C5 Y9 E9 R9 W9 M9 B9 U9 K9 Q9 L9 with business class seat map almost showing almost all seats taken

and

On 10 Nov EK333
What could you possible infer from a flight showing only Y9 E9 R9 W9 M9 B9 U9 K9 Q9 L9 with business class seat map relatively free

Thanks for your thoughts

What's the load info for 333?

Hey - might get some involuntary downgrades for J! This flight is probably sorely oversold, I've flown it a few times and it's always a litany of names called at the podium for op-ups (never mine).
