i supposedly have sufficient points for 5 business class return flights, having done a reasonable amount of flying with them over the last 12-18 months

i tried to book 3 different business class reward flights with them for various dates (april, july, october) and various destinations and for each one was told that business class was full

funnily enough, for each flight i could have either:

(a) paid in cash for a business class seat, or

(b) used cash and miles for a business class seat, or

(c) used points for a peak (ie - rip off) economy seat

anyone had similar experiences with these jokers?

Emirates are getting pretty ropey. Flew to Singapore last week - outbound day flight had flatbeds, return overnight flight did not - how hard can it be to schedule the fleet to get that right?

My next two flights are booked with Virgin and Etihad since Emirates "loyalty" scheme does not appear to be honoured.
