* For the B77Ws, I find it surprising that only 6 units will be added over the next 12 months given how many frames EK still has on order.
* For the A343s, if 5 aircraft will be left in the fleet, we may see a new Europe destination started with A343 as the current schedule only requires 4 aircraft for 2 daily CPT, 1 daily HKT and 4 weekly DKR.
* For the 6 remaining new destinations (apart from HND and CRK), I think we are looking at 3 more Europe (Stockholm, Oslo, Kiev), 1 Africa (Kinshasa or Abuja), 1 North America (likely Miami rather than Chicago or Boston) and 1 Asia or Subcontinent (Chengdu, Taipei or something in India).
* Some of the added capacity may be used for frequency reinforcements: a second daily Dublin, a third daily Birmingham or Rome, a fourth daily Manchester, a third daily Brisbane are just some of the options.

Is there any confirmation of which new destination is actually happening or no information for sure yet?

As a solo flyer in J, the 380 is much nicer, correct? It looks like there is more privacy to the seat and no one has to climb over you? I'm hoping the 380 is used on the LAX route soon...

SOrry, slightly OT.

From what was said previously, LAX should get the A380 from the middle of October followed by SFO in November. Let's see if it gets confirmed.

Doesn't make sense to launch Miami in summer. Miami is a peak winter route, and it is always ideal to launch routes in peak season, so October/November would be more likely.

If there is a official release from EK. If they started nonstop DXB-MIA or BOS. It doesn't matter for which the specific route is that. Try to give some time. If they deployed the 77W or A380 aircraft. South Florida is a very popular leisure vacation trip. There are too many passengers who went onto the cruise to Caribbean or Transatlantic ocean. South Florida is getting more extremely overcrowded.

Since the 8th of March Emirates has been using a 3-class B777-300ER on the HKT route, any news on a permanent change to the B777?
Also, Emirates has changed their aircraft on the WAW route, since the 16th of March, they use a 3-class B777-300ER on that route now.
I havent seen any news on both routes, however both got upgraded to the B777 from the A330 and A340.

HKT seems to also just be temporary until 21MAR13 where it switches back to the 343.
