If you want to bring your travel forward, you could but only on 13 Dec, there are some seats on EK418 in F, Y/W, and a couple Y on EK412.
As for later dates:
23 Dec, only 1 seat in F on EK412
24 Dec, few seats in F on EK418
25 Dec, 1 seat in F, couple J/C on EK412
As far as using your miles, if your booking was on EK412, you could do so but only on the 25th.
That's all I could think of, hope it helps.

Thanks for the fast reply.
I was thinking 26 or 27. I need two economic seats (me and my wife). Is that available? and if so, how can I change the dates? I tried online and I can only change seats/passenger info not dates. How much will it cost?
Many thanks.

I checked right through 31st, economy looks closed throughout.
There are couple J seats here and there.
I doubt you could change your reservation to the dates you wanted, unless:
- You are a skywards gold member; and
- hold a flexible fare ticket ( I think M and above - could be just W/Y)
Check the fare conditions on your tickets for that sort for changes etc. Usually they don't charge for change of dates; As for the way to do it, just give Emirates a call.
Cheers

Thanks for the support.
I just checked the website, there are available slots on 25th on economy, I called Emirates but they said they can't change to that date because the website have some seats for NEW tickets only!
Can I ask for a refund and reserve new tickets? are all emirates tickets refundable? The lady on the phone said it will cost 25$ to refund for each ticket. But I'm not sure if my ticket is refundable or not. How can I check?
Bottom line, I need a way to travel on 25th and will tolerate paying 50$ for this. How can I achieve this asap before the remained seats go away?
Many thanks.

I have purchased two tickets on 24th, there was available places on 24,25,26,27. I picked 24 because it was about 220$ cheaper. The final cost from DAM to SYD per ticket is about 1400$.
Now I have two question:
1- I have mistakingly put my wife as MR not MRS, would this cause any problem?
2- What seats should I pick? This is my first time on Emirates, and most seats on my flights are empty. What do you recommend for seats preference?
My flights are:
EK 914
EK 384
EK 418

1- I doubt they would say anything; it should be fine. My TA once put me as MRS and did not get any problems whatsevover.
2- Ah this clarifies your routing. I would try and get row 16 aisle seats, it's right behind business, and youll get enough leg room to place a bag as leg support.
Hope this helps

Just been with CS asking if I was to change my return trip ex-SYD to depart from MEL instead;
They claimed 'no seats' are available, but availability on EK405 shows:
F4 A0 J7 C0 Y9 W9 M0 B0 K0 H0 Q0 L0 T0 V0
He even went on to say that the flight is closed!
Interesting, hmm..
