Summer 18 (and beyond) A380 Routes
I've noticed that BA209 LHR-MIA as of 01 May 18 will be operated by 747's instead of A380's. Does anyone know which routes next year have either added or removed A380's? Thanks.

MIA does not have an A380 this summer either.

MIA has changed to 747 for the summer peak since the 380 was introduced on the route.

It's a straight swap with YVR following the cruise ships from the Caribbean to Alaska for May-Sep.

I guess that my specific follow up question would be:

Which route is gaining the A380 that would have been used to MIA?

The windy city could finally be getting one if things fall into place for S18.

Whilst you probably mean Chicago, at least 11 cities in the world claim that title. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windy_City

I was here thinking why on earth would you want to visit Wellington, New Zealand, in the northern-hemisphere summer?

Can you imagine trying to land a 380 at WLG.

Its long enough and wide enough.

Getting to the terminal might be an issue.

Thinking about it your right. SQ send a 773 there but it only goes over the tasman.
