Not specific to EK, to the best of my knowledge check in (counters) for a flight will open 4 hours prior to scheduled time. so that would be the earliest you can check your bags.

In principle you are correct, but with so many EK flights out of LHR daily (is it 6?), I would expect the check in counters to be continuously open. If they will accept luggage for a (much) later flight I can't say. In any case, wasting 2 times an hour travelling by tube between Central London and LHR seems a worse option than doing what you already propose: leaving the luggage at your hotel or a luggage storage facility.

I'm trying to book flights from Brussels to Johannesburg the first days of April, but most flights are completely sold out in Economy and others only have flex+ tickets available. What is the reason for this? Easter Holidays? Is there a possibility that regular flex or even Saver will come back online?

Thank you for this! Much appreciated! On second thoughts we will do the outbound flight to CPT with QR and only do the inbound from JNB!

Paid Upgrade DXB—IAD
Two friends are flying EK231 DXB-IAD. Any data points out there for pay to upgrade to J? What is a reasonable price tag? They booked saver tix. Mileage upgrades are not an option. One received an offer for $2300, but seems high to me. Not overly familiar with EK though. Thanks!
