Are they starting to cut flights ?
Hi,
I have been trying to book EK419 BKK-DXB on the following dates in 2009, February 23rd, April 20th and July 1st. The flight is grayed out in the online booking engine, not allowing you to select this flight. It re-appears for my October 5th flight ?
Anyone able to explain or have a theory for the absence then re-appearance. Website glitch ? or are they starting to cut flights without announcing the cuts.
Best Regards
Flying Fireman

The issue is that EK419 is Sydney to Dubai via Bangkok so priority is for passengers flying from Sydney to Dubai, I have the same problem, my preferences are for EK418 DXB-BKK & EK419 BKK-DXB because of the time saving factor with my connecting flights EK038 & EK039 but it is a rarity to be able to book these flights.
