Emirates First reward booking problem

[am0985]

Hi everyone,

Look at using QF points to book EK F to Europe from MEL or SYD to DXB to BRU in early Feb 2026 for 1 person.

Calendar prior to now has been showing up availability for both legs and bookable up until the payment page.

However today it's started showing availability for F, but then it states for each leg "Your flight from Melbourne (Tullamarine) to Dubai will be in Economy"...and then when it clicks through it is trying to charge me F prices for what is a Y seat.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is it coming up this way for other people?

It's happening both on the multi city took but also if I just try and book MEL - DXB on the normal booking page

Have seen several reports of the same issue today which make it look like an IT glitch.

Is the suggestion that there is still an F award seat available on MEL-DXB but it's not showing in the QFF engine?

But if only a Y seat is available, connecting to an F seat, this is how Qantas will price it in my experience.
