Hi,
I will be flying with my family on Emirates for the first in over ten years this summer. We are in J on the A380 (first time) and when selecting our seats there seem to be quite a few seats blocked. Is there any way I can request 1 or 2 of these are unblocked so we can select our preferred seats. I assume these are blocked for Skywards higher tiered flyers. Many thanks.

Is there a thread on here which updates Emirates Lounge menus? I can't find one after searching but know other airlines forums have them.
Flying F for the first time: GRU - DXB - SIN - MEL later this year. Closer to the time would be good to know whats serving in F lounge so can plan on flight meals etc - and for curiosity too!

However, if you ask again closer to the time, surely someone will be able to advise what is on the F lounge menu at the time.

How long before departure do they allow you to pass security / get into the F lounge?
(If there's a restriction to get airside: do they let you in earlier with a booking for an airside naproom/hotel?)

Is EK184 (BRU-DXB) 100% the new Emirates F or is only the EK182 one. I cant figure it out from the website as it doesnt mention it except that its a 777 
Same for the return. are both 181 and 183 the new F or just one of them?
Thanks!

I don't think there's any check. I went through recently about 5 hours before my flight.

Is the second question a trick one or do you think they could change the F cabin from old to new in BRU between flights?
ETA. Not a flame - I just couldn't resist it.

DFW to JED on EK using AMEX reward points
Planning to fly DFW - JED round trip business class in early March using EK
When booking using classic rewards, EK is showing 904,000 miles + about $7k in surcharges for 2 adults and 2 children (5-11). The cash price for same routing is $17.5k
I have enough Amex point to transfer over to EK but wondering if this a good use of those miles? Any suggestions or alternate carrier / routing advice for the experts here would be appreciated!

I have booked SYD-ARN Y Flex/Y Flex Plus (and subsequently upgraded to J on outbound). In looking at the fare rules am I correct in reading that I would be charged the higher penalty (Flex) for a refund but changes would continue to be free?
