Our cruise from HKG to BKK was unsurprisingly cancelled last month and so I contacted EK to put on hold while we rebooked a new cruise for 2022. Knowing that we could change as long as our new flight was in the same region (Asia), we had no trouble rebooking HND-DXB in F with the new 777 first class suites 
I had originally asked if we could go HND-CAI (where my connecting flight to YYZ originates), but that was not possible unless I wanted to spend another $6K USD....
I remember seeing upthread somewhere that others had issues rebooking this as it involved bouncing off HKG (BKK-HKG-BKK-DXB-XXX), but this was not an issue - did not even come up in the conversation.
After booking was complete, I was told that no further changes to the ticket were possible.

wow! 🤪
If this was possible in May 2022 it’d help me out of a logistical issue - with Japan not (yet) being open!

I had this same EK itinerary booked that is in the OP but now canceled and my ticket can be applied for future travel. I'd like to call Emirates and try to reuse my ticket without being charged any fare difference. Any suggestions?
I don't care too much about my itinerary (can allocate maybe 5-7 nights) but would ideally like to spend as much time flying EK F as possible, departing (and returning if possible) from HND/NRT.

I suspect you should have no problems booking TYO-DXB-MCT return - F cabin available on all flights. You should be able to change your ticket from TYO to any of the following destinations that they serve in the Gulf, Middle East Region (those more in the know will confirm) :Good luck.

You might have to reference this section in case the agent is unaware

As this thread has resurfaced just to let people know that BAH is now the cheapest option in the ME:
BKK/BAH EUR1926.00
BKK/MCT EUR2230.00
1. These are prices from Matrix - possibly slightly cheaper on the EK site
2. As before, travel via HKG possible, eg BKK/HKG/DXB/BAH and vv.
3. Additional taxes/carrier charges may apply depending on routing/stops
4. Up to 26 March 2022 a 3-class 777 is scheduled on the route DXB/BKK/HKG and vv. From 27 March to 30 June 2022 a 3-class A380 is scheduled, after which the service will be downgraded to a 2-class A380. But, as we have seen last year things can change!

EK's flexible ticket policy. There are date ranges as to what is available for rebooking options. Just need to look up when your ticket was purchased and what policy that ticket is entitled to. The agent I had communicated initially just quoted a fare difference when the date policy has stated otherwise. I had to reference that part of their website to make her aware. My desired changes were granted after that. Good luck!
