Its a pity it gets cancelled.
Its weird and disappointing to be honest - I have flown 2/3 first class products existing on this planet, but not emirates, that is pretty basic one. No showers for me again, third time in a row with emirates it gets cancelled.

The two people who had their itinerary cancelled - Was your itinerary ticketed? sometimes travelgenio and similar OTA take 3-5 days to ticket. mine was booked via Expedia and was ticketed instantly, and is still showing intact.

No, mine was not ticketed.

I don't believe we have any data points yet of a confirmed, ticketed reservation getting cancelled by EK.

exactly! Some OTAs take a few days to ticket - and in this case once EK withdrew the fare these OTAs were not able to ticket it.

Alright, unticketed reservations got cancelled, no need to panic yet. Lets see if EK takes a stand within the next days, otherwise we need to wait until mid April/early May when the first will be flying.

Indeed!

Another hard rule with flash sales such as these is never to book with unreliable OTAs which do not ticket instantly. The route launch flash sale might be over before an OTA employee has finally manually managed to issue an e-ticket!

I cant select seats for one of the segment. All the seats are greyed out and looks like oversold. Anyone has the same problem?
