What is it doing with that flight number on that date (and not the day before or after) in BKK?
Flights starting with a 2 are additional flights which EK received gov approval from to operate.

Again - the fare didn't go down. Availability opened up.

From the fare rules, T class

This fare has been there since Jan 26.

I have a similar conundrum to solve.
Looking at flying from BOS to BKK on December 18 and it seems business class is sold out with only F available?? Is that right?

No, that wouldn't be correct, just too early to book really.

Is there even lower fare class (M, B, U, K, Q, L, T, V, X, H) that might become available then? Where do you find that info?
It really doesn't matter to me the technical reason for the lower price being available, I just want to know if it's possible that an even lower fare class be opened up. Of course now that the UAE has banned its citizens from flying there I wonder how much more hassle this trip will be when I try to return to Dubai in April. Not sure I want to not be able to return or be quarantined.

Just look at the second line. The one with the 7:35 AM arrival.
All the others have huge layovers in DXB.

You said business class was sold out, but it's not.

Maybe it is no longer sold out now. Fairly recently, ITA refused to show me those business class flights. It only showed me F. Even worse, Emirates does not show up on Google Flights at all!

"T" is the lowest Saver Fare. I don't know if they publish Special Fares for your route or if they would ever open availability even if they did.
