1st time trying - code S0
 
Hello All - I am first time trying staff travel tickets. The codes seem to be tough to understand. For Apri-3rd/4th/5th/6th Flight from DXB to ORD ...the codes are showing as S0.
Does that mean all seats in "s" class are taken? Or
They have allocated 0 seats for "S" class? Or
Since it is still 3 weeks to go....would you think it's too early for me to look at that now?
Is that flight really sold out? busier than usual?

What's your advise?

It’s been several years since I flew on an EK staff ticket, but I’ll share what I recall.

I assume you are not EK staff and you’ll be on an ID90 non-confirmable fare or something similar, and you’re trying to book through your employer?

If so, then I believe whatever you’re seeing is irrelevant, as loads only become available for staff travel a day or two prior to scheduled departure. Outside this timeframe all you can do is list for standby. Confirmation can happen as late as an hour before departure, depending on loads for revenue pax. YMMV, and I think there’s a couple of current staff on here who might give you more recent information.

Dear IntrepidAfrican2 - Firstly, I would like to appreciated your response.

I am not EK staff...I am booking thru myidtravel.

Let's see if anyone other friends over here respond with more information.
