Should AS be able to see Z3?

SHOULD, but they don't after March 2015.

Working on both of those.

No luck with this rep. Didn't know what the "old system" was, but said that requesting manually was something they used to be able to do, but no longer.

Old system? Have you heard any recent success with that?

Yeah, that's why I brought up the issue, he didn't mention anything about YQ, therefore I asked

He mentioned that JL doesnt charge YQ for ticketed originating in the US

Best of all, they don’t impose fuel surcharges for Emirates awards originating in the US.

I followed his Instructions and it worked, there is talk about calling AS at night times and it took me 4 HUCA:
“Hi, I want to fly Emirates First Class from Houston to Bangkok. I was just on the line with another agent, and she had found the space and given me the flight info when my phone was disconnected. She said she found the space in the old system. Can I give you the flight info?”

When I said “old system,” this agent actually interjected, “That’s the right way.”

She took the flight info that I had found on Expert Flyer and disappeared for a few minutes, coming back to tell me that she had found the award space in First Class and it would cost 100,000 miles. Success!

Fifth times must be the charm!

I'm in disbelief.

Thanks for this post. I was not planning on calling again tonight and was only going to give it one more shot in the AM.

I need to call and reserve seats. Best options for a couple with a kid? 2/3 E/F ?

Any way i get chauffeur service, or YMMV at airport?

Hershelsdeals · « **Reply #179 on:** March 03, 2015, 09:38:22 AM »

Does EK ever release more than 2 (F) Z class seats at a time?
