Last time I flew as a pax on this route, it was ops on an A310. Is it always an A310, or what?

Jumpseats may not be used on EK, other than on duty travel or on authorisation by the powers that be in case of emergency leave etc.
nothing to do with 9/11 either - the policy's been in place for many years before that.
Sorry. it's a shame really.
Enloy your trip.

ah, a bit disappointing, but I guess that's reality. :( Thanks for the reply anyways bigilla. Maybe just a visit? :}


A300Man , it's always an A330 with the 777 doing the weekend hops. Now I dunno what they bring in with the night flight they've added. The last few flights I've done in the night time it was an A330. I've not seen an EK A310 since Oman Air started. (And I've been to DXB several times) :uhoh:
