Standby on EK codeshare flight.
I have the following e-ticket.
DXB - BKK on EK-6200 ( operated by Thai on codeshare number )
BKK- DXB on EK-385
This is booked via emirates and i have emirates e-ticket with Emirates flight numbers, ( Business Class full flexible full fare )
If i arrive very early at the airport ( almost one day before ) and I’m able to get the Emirates flight to BKK ( EK-384, EK418 or EK372 ) can i go to the Emirates transfer desk and ask to be on standby for those flights and take it if seats are available ?
I would think that this should be possible as Emirates booked me on the codeshare flight with a Emirates flight number and ticket.
I'm willing to pay any fee or price difference if really necessary but with a full fare price I would except that I could change my flight without any problem.
Does anybody know what the rules are of changing flights from codeshare bak to Emirates.

depends on the fare rule really , some full fares do not allow anything but direct / one flight number , you would be able to change I would imagine , and pay the difference in fare plus their fee which is usually around USD20.00 for the change , but you should call them first to check on your exact fare rules.
I often travel on full 1st class fares btwn SYD and MRU but still have these type of fare fules applying to certain flt nbrs too . i.e if its an A380 etc
you need to pay anything up to AUD 600 extra.
If its an EK aircraft and its direct it should not be a problem though except the change fee USD20 or thereabouts

If your ticket is booked in J, you should be able to get on without penalty as long as there is J availability and as long as your fare rules allow any EK flight number. I suspect the ticket will allow any EK flight number - as the one that is usually excluded is, in fact, EK6200/1.
Cheers,

And the price according Emirates website is the same for all three flight from DXB to BKK.

This ticket is booked via the travel department of my work.
I did not receive the actual e-ticket yet. ( they like to keep it back until the last moment
)
As soon i have the ticket i will post the booking fare code.
I will also inform them about the change option so maybe they can rebook me in the correct fare code if required.
Thanks for the helpfull infi till now. ^
