Emirates suite availability with Alaska air
« on: November 10, 2014, 12:19:59 AM »
Does anyone have experience, when Emirates opens F cabin availability? Some airlines only open availability far in advance others do within 2 weeks or a couple of days before the flight.

I have a Suite ticket at 10.20am in February, but I really need to fly at night, there are two nights fights every night and so far there is no availability in suites at night.

I looked into this, EK will only open to AS only when 2 Suites open up, you can check expert flyer, the guys on Flyertalk know allot about this stuff under the AS Forum in FT.

 Also if  your planing on changing this for flights out of JFK good luck, they are very hard to come by, DFW or LAX if your looking into the A380 have better chances.

Used to be the case that AS could only see one seat less than was available but nowadays they can usually see both if they are available.

The question is, do they open up more seats before departure? Or within two weeks of flights?

Based on my own research which I did from as website its sometimes yes and sometimes no, you could check yourelf on the as website to see availablty for the next few days. Its nothing like CX F availability and almost all cases what you see on as website its what as customer service agents see.

DFW and SFO are your best bets.

There is no discernible general pattern.

Some flights, like SEA, if studied show a pattern whereby about 1-2 weeks out, EK opens more availability.

Some AS agents will long-sell, and then, even if there is no award availability, it can come back confirmed.

Is it possible to originate the award in NYC, or is would it be backtracking (or something like that)?

What's long sell? Similar to plan B?

You can originate in NYC, but it's be a heck of a shlep:

NYC-SEA-SFO/DFW.

(Though not saying I wouldn't do it ;))

GIYF. No.

Are you talking about AS specific or would the same go for all other partners, JL/KE etc?

A380
This is easier to Google than what long sell means  ;)

When Googling long sell he will end up in the stock market.  ;D

You are correct. It is a 777. But i think they are flying a second flight a a380 during certain times. But i could be wrong
