Not even that. Aren't skycruisers still around?

Nope. All EK aircraft with an F cabin have F suites, think that was kinda obvious, obviously 2-class aircraft with no F cabin won' have F suites

A6-EMX flew yesterday (Skycruisers) but it'll leave in the next few days according to the fleet guide.

Don't think so.

Glad that's the case.

One of my flights had skycruisers 3 weeks back.

Wow - I thought they'd long gone.

What flight were you on as i fly this route and all my flights have been on 2 class older frame (EK542/543), I tend to opt for last row in business 6k its quite private.

Only 542 is a 2 class.

544 and 546 are 3 class with all suites now

That row is not often recommended on here as it tends to get forgotten about being on its own, although less so with the new cabins which are more open and have the snacks laid out in the gap area. Also too close to the bassinets in Economy Class.

I didn't mind them on short hops but obviously a suite is far better. They were on my flight to MLE last year so we stayed in J.

I flew EK 542 on Oct 20th. My past flights have always been 2 class. My relatives fly this route regularly as well and also recall it being 2 class. I am glad this has changed as the 2 class planes were really old. With 3x flights a day between DXB <> MAA & Y filled to the brim on most days, EK didn't give this route much love.

MAA always gets F, except for 542 on occasion

542 has been 2 class 8 times in the last 30 days (just to put a number to it).
I find The EK Source - Emirates Airline Route Tracker. quite a good way to track this sort of thing.

But it is planned though, not random.
Source: 50+ flights in the last two years.

I often see changes like this ~ 1 month in advance, presumably when loads are analysed and adjustments made so could loosely be called planned, although not much help if you've booked in advance of that and are adversely affected.
