EMIRATES now charging for SEATS

[scottish-guy]

I know quite a few of you use Emirates to get to Thailand, so...BEWARE.

Having just booked what I though were good priced flights (Econ) - I find that if I wish to reserve seats via "Manage My Booking" it will now cost me £80 for a service which was previously FREE.

Like a lot of people I prefer an aisle seat and I like it near the front.

However on this particular ticket class (and some others), I'm faced with either paying £80 (4 legs @ £20) or waiting until 48hrs before the flight when I can take my chances via "Online Check-In" when it will still be free to choose a seat (except the seat you want may well not be available).

Pretty annoyed I must say, as first of all they massively cut the Skywards points on Econ, then made redemption more difficult if not almost impossible , and now they're charging to reserve a seat.

Makes me wonder if Michael O'Fucking-Leary has joined their board now!
