Best way to find Emirates First Class availability
Hi
I hoped to find a sticky note or guide on how to find best award availability here.
I‘m looking for First Class award space to Australia.
The search on Emirates.com only allows +/- 1 day, expertflyer +/- 3 days.
I am hoping for a calendar view approach. Anything like this out there?
thanks

As far as I am aware the Emirates website is the only source of availability. Which is irritating. Having said that, award space to Australia appears to be very hard to come by.

Even ExpertFlyer does not give award space on EK (unless it has changed recently, they reported a few weeks ago that return of this feature was ‘weeks rather than months away’ )

What method is best to check ex UK and ex Dubai. Search on EK site as a cash booking and look the red card like upgrade symbol or whats the best way? I did try EF and it seemed to have a data issue. I would like to upgrade one of the legs. I know LHR is usually harder to get award space upgardes on but I might be able to fly Manchester on the out but return will have to be LHR

ex-UK has always been very tight with F awards. Before Covid, AMS used to be great, F awards on virtually every flight when I used to check. Not sure if it's the same now though.

For F class, just do a classic reward search for F on the dates you want. If you find any (unlikely!), the you should be able to upgrade from J.

And yes, AMS is also still good.
