Hi,

The emirates A330-200 sahould be good ( I've flown on the aircraft wit Canada 3000 to YYZ in 2000 and it was a fine aircraft).

You should get PTV's in Y.

According to the seat maps Y looks like the standard 2-4-2 formation.
At least it is not on a B777 ( some of them are 10 abreast compared to most 777s being olny 9 abreast)

Have a good trip.

Regards

TBS

What date is this for? I've tried the Availability Tool (v1.62) for each of the dates 20-28th April and get numbers not letters returned for each class [?]

Cheers

Ok, this is what I see:

LHR DXB APR/24 0700 EK ->
LHR DXB 0830 1825 EK 8 F4 J4 Y9 M9 B9 K7 H0 QC LC VC 332

I've no idea what the 'C's are in Q, L & V. FWIW I think the rest of it looks ok [?]

Cheers
