I heard a few months ago from a friend who is a regular traveller with EK, that they were going to start using the A380 in March 2011 from DXB to LGW
Has anyone any news on this?
It is allowed here now-can only hope!!

Its not true, we may be able to facilitate the aircraft, but the only stands capable at the moment are the new remotes built the otherside of the Virgin hanger. Won't be happening yet, thats all i can say

No mention on the Emirates website either. Flights even 4-5 months from now are still to be operated by various types of the wonderfully cramped 777.

Im sure it wont be too long-i love to watch the EK777s depart and arrive every day but it is such a busy route they will either have to increase frequency here or use the big beast!!;)

I find the B777 quite a spacious aircraft. Mind you, I flew a BA one, so maybe the seating arrangement is a little different.
