Ah... I was just trying to book that JFK flight as I haven't flown the new 777 first class before. Really hope they can at least bring it to another US destination.

British Airways will send its first A380 back into service on July 1, 2021 to Miami.

It's funny at JFK T4 right now - very telling about which countries are advertised as "open" at the moment. I had no line at all for my KLM flight. I also saw there was no line whatsoever for the Swiss, Singapore, or VS flights that I walked past and were open for check-in. Emirates meanwhile had a full queue with easily 200+ people.

Nice. I saw this a couple of days back. Question about Emirates’ health insurance - would that still be valid even if UAE is on a Do Not Travel / Lv4 alert? I want to fly J on the upper deck.

ok - I am not trying to be snarky - but how many people pay US$20k so that they can shower in an airplane? I know their F is popular with bloggers and upgrades.... but is there really a demand for that kind of service?

who am I kidding - between LAX/IAD and DUB, I am sure they can sell F at twice the price and still fill....

What level of in-flight service (food and beverage, including alcohol) is Emirates providing in First Class and Business Class these days, as opposed to pre-pandemic?

Negative developments for a snooty jerks who think A380 Emirates first clas ain’t good enough. What a world we live in.

I think they stopped flying the newer version of the 777-300. If you look at setting chart it is the older versions.

Just booked LAX-DXB, DXB-MLE in biz yesterday for early 2022. Positioning the trip origin out of LAX (instead of ORD which is closer) specifically because it showed an A380 on the schedule. Gotta cross an Emirates A380 off the list.

The new midfield concourse at LAX has added another 6 a380 gates, bringing the total to 15. A pity as there were multiple carriers using them pre-Covid

Despite all the tacky bling on Emirates A380 F, I have to say their F in flight hard product experience in terms of seat comfort/ design and shower surpasses CX, BA, JL, QF, AF, SQ, KE, and EY imo. I hope to try their 777 someday.

I'm flying BOS-DXB, DXB-JNB later this summer, and I also did part of the planning so that I would have business class on the A380. Can't wait to fly in that thing.

@Lucky, you're either being unusually candid or you're being spoofed.

Wow! Ok I had to look up what bukkake meant, Ben.
How many glasses of Krug or Don have you had?!? I hope you’re ok.

Sorry folks, someone thought it would be cute to try and make trash comments look like they were coming from me this evening. Should be dealt with now!

I am booked on the new 777 First from DXB-NRT on 9/3, assuming the aircraft doesn’t change.

I just read:

"As of April 1, 2021, Emirates no longer allows its first class awards to be booked with partner miles (like JAL, Alaska, Qantas, or Korean Air)."

True?

It is clear that Emirates has not resumed A380 from IAD yet. They are still operating 777 from IAD at least till Mid December. Anyone else has insight when A380 will be resumed from IAD Washington Dulles.
