There is a fourth daily service to Tehran. Nothing announced, it just appeared in the booking engine, so not sure if it is permanent or just temporarily using up aircraft allocated to flights they are not operating at the moment. But great news for folks who spend a lot of time in Iran, departs IKA at 7:00 PM, can be back in Dubai in time for dinner on Thursday nights.

Yes right, that's why you mentioned "free 77L" right ... Because you knew it wasn't free.
If you knew anything about Emirates aircraft deployment, you would know that EK doesn't need the BRU change to free up B77L capacity, because there are currently 2 spare frames not accounted for in the winter schedule. But I guess you knew all that and were just entertaining us.

Yawn, you're boring me. Go find something better to do.

I wonder if EK could get approval for DXB-NRT/NGO/KIX-HNL.
On the other hand traffic to Middle East and Africa from HNL is tiny and the flight would just not be worth it unless EK really wants a piece of Japan-Hawaii.

At 600 miles an hour, that's only 20 minutes more flying time. I am no expert on a/c and range, but its an island right at the end of your flight with close to 5-6 hours over water and if for some reason, god forbid you start going low on fuel...
