There's a central call centre but EK has local numbers in all the countries it operates in, so find that and it'll automatically connect you.

I was the only one sat in F when I looked at it last week...
Got you regarding the GLA flights and it does seem to get a few 2 class airframes (and F was completely empty on my night flight a few weeks ago).

Managed to change it with no charge at all so now flying from Edi. Any ideas which gate EK leaves from ? Also, between the No. 1 Lounge and Aspire, which one do you guys recommend ? Not been to Edinburgh airport for about 15 years so I would imagine it to have changed a lot lol

I think EK only have a contract with No. 1. It's been recently refurbished and relocated and has views over the runway. I had a look round when it re-opened but never stayed. In its previous guise, the Aspire lounge beat it IMO, but not by much.

I was on the EDI-DXB (EK024) a few months ago, before the lounge refurbishment. Obviously not as good as the EK lounge but food selection was nice. It was busy though (given it was a shared lounge) and the disappointment was that there was no toilet in the lounge. Things may have changed with the new lounge but can not comment.

Here was the video which I made at the time:

I have a Dragonpass so have access to both - based on what you mention, I might go with Aspire then. I guess depending on where it is quieter lol. I wouldn't think a Tuesday evening would be busy anyhow

I think I saw your video yesterday on Youtube - It doesn't come up when I search Emirates Edinburgh though - I can't remember what I searched but it is way down the list so not sure if the keywords isn't right or something.
