Emirates 72S?
I was debating whether or not to post this in the EK forum but decided against it since it isnt really to do with EK.
I was using KVS to find availability for EK16 LGW-DXB on 18th August and I have seen that the aircraft is a "72S"
I thought that would be a 727, but since EK does'nt fly those I know that can't be right. Its probably a 772, but what does the "S" represent?
Thanks

Thanks
This is VERY worrying, as I booked onto EK16 which I hate from Gatwick, which I rarely fly to/from solely to get the 2 class 772 (w/ the ice system and improved pitch in J). This apollo system is showing that there is first class Who do I trust? The EK site is showing a 2 class 772 but its frequently wrong...
Cheers

Update: Just being doing some more research and have found that many flights showing as JY on the world span tool are showing F0 A0 on the Apollo tool
[KVS Availability Tool - Apollo: ITN/UA/US]
[KVS Availability Tool - Worldspan: ITN/CWT/US-LA]
[KVS Availability Tool - Worldspan: ITN/CWT/US-LA]
[KVS Availability Tool - Apollo: ITN/UA/US]
Not sure if it works for all flights though...
Cheers
