Hi JD
I am in the same boat as your friends and general consensus has it that EK goes pretty quiet now til you get that elusive package on your doorstep containing ticket and contract....!
It does seem odd that such a professional airline would suddenly leave you guessing at this stage of the game- but from what I understand, if you're 'out' then they will tell you straight away to get your file off the desk....So I believe that no news is good news and all should be ok...?
Anyone care to comment?
I have asked, via email and phone, for a status report or confirmation that they have everything they need but thus far- no response!
I am operating on blind faith that a week prior to departure I will receive a ticket and then spend a few days running around like a headless chicken getting organised!
Does anyone know if EK actually calls your referees? If so, I thought this may be a way to track your progress.. If they call them obviously you're moving through the system...?hmmm
