One additional A388 frame was needed for the planned capacity upgauges to KUL and SIN during September:

01 - 07 September EK342/343 KUL second daily A388
08 - 21 September EK354/355 SIN

Melbourne starts on October 01 and before that one more A388 will be delivered.

was on A6-EGV yesterday LHR-DXB in J and the new remotes- all touchscreen and the thinner sleeker control panel- wireless- is also great. Maybe discussed elsewhere-- but did not know about these new updates.

Also the Seats were a lot more comfortable that the original "new" biz.

A6-EGP onwards have the new system - bigger screens as well from what I remember reading. It was discussed on here a while back.

I was on A6-EGT a couple of days ago and I was also impressed with the changes.

Here's a link to the original press release.
