Availibility of A on Au flights
 

It seems to me that is it extremely hard to find flights with A not zeroed on DXB-SYD/MEL flights.

Is it because of EK being so busy? or is it perhaps a policy to restrict award and discounted A fares?!

For example from 7OCT to 18OCT, there isn't a single SYD flight with a single A available. Melbourne is easier, but most are on the annoying EK408. :rolleyes:

What is a "A" class ticket

I am on EK408 AKL - MEL - DXB next month, what is wrong with it??

Same as on the DXB-BKK route-- especially the 300er and 380 -- both with suites.-- only reason I can this is that.

I have been monitoring EK412 on a set of days in October. Few moments ago it came as A7, I immediately called the travel agent, and snapped the 2 seats.

Now it shows A0, and can't wait till October to experience the full experience of the A380 in F. Yippie!

I didn't want to start a new thread for this. I was looking at availability for DXB-BEY in A on a specific day in July. Well it shows A0.
I tried doing a booking to see how many seats would be bookable through Emirates website, and for 7 passengers it is available, for 8 Not available.
The flight will be a 777 with 8 suites in F.

Isn't it interesting how for 1 lone passenger EK's system zeroed out the fare class A?!
Would anyone have an insight into this? Thanks.

I am thinking of calling EK and having them request A to be opened up or something, not sure if that'll work, of if anyone else tried this before.

It's hardly about one passenger. You're looking at a date in July, so there's no reason to assume there will only be one passenger by a few days before the flight. Maybe they will sell all the seats. Also, the fact that 7 seats are available doesn't mean only one has been sold. If they plan to oversell, there could have been more seats sold.

They may think that they can sell these seats at full fare and have no need to offer a discount. Closer to the time this may change but 4 months in advance still gives them plenty time.
