First "not offered"

Hi - Can you tell me what "first not offered" means on the booking engine on emirates website. In particular EK004 on 22nd November.

I thought that this service was to be a standard 3 class 777 300 - does anyone know the actual aircraft schedules for this flight ? does it have first (I thought it did ?)

On the services by flight it still has thress calss 777 300ER?

Do you have a connection flight with EK in DXB afterwards ?

I've noticed this when looking for flights from LON-BLR via DXB.

Some flights on the second leg are 2-class planes and don't offer First.

But I'm sure our experts will know more about it.

yeah I thouhgt that but checked with a one way lhr dxb on ek004 and still got the same answer so hence my interest... perhaps they are substituting ? perhaps emirates 777 is in the know...

overbooking

On 22nd OCT LHR-DXB 004 - First class is fully booked and Business class is overbooked, may be that's the reason.

Actually all 5 flights LHR-DXB on 22nd - Business is overbooked, 002 and 004 FC is fully booked, 006 and 008 and 030 two FC seats available on each flight

I have had this in the past and was told that F is fully closed and you cannot even be wait listed. The good thing is that as this means as both F&J are overbooked their is a good chance of an op up.
