A380 upper deck in Y
Hi can anyone advise on upperdeck Y seats after a bit of investigating over the last few weeks this section tends to be always full would the experts agree I'm more likely to get an empty ajacent seat on the lower deck it's the 384 to BKK June 16th I gather it continues to HKG I'm guessing might be busier than other BKK flights

You may find the second cabin is blocked rather than occupied on seat maps. BKK flights tend to go out chock a block in Economy, hence all the two class flights and so many of them, but you never know as it's low season there just now. I don't think the HKG extension will make it busier as there are direct DXB-HKG flights, usually for no extra cost.

I was able to purchase seats upstairs for that section well before the flight (months in advance), although i later took an offer of an upgrade to business, but i had a look at there were plenty of seats in that section during the flight, but the crew did say it was a very quiet flight (2nd June).

My flight tomorrow EK384 seems only half occupied on the upper deck is this section blocked to non status pax? Can't decide to stay put on the lower deck with adjacent seat currently empty or take a chance of having extra space upstairs?
