JFK Service Reduction
Just got a call from Emirates that EK207/8 A380 service to JFK has been cancelled starting 22 Oct and they have rebooked me on EK202.
Not too surprising as there was excess capacity to NYC with 4 A380s to JFK and the EWR service coming in. Even J wasn't full (more like half empty) in my flight to/ from JFK last week.

I really liked the convenience of EK207. Get in at 9PM and am usually in bed by 10:30PM.. Sleep my jet lag off and fresh next day to go back to work. I flew twice on EK207 and J was at least 90% full both times. It was very difficult to get a K or A seat in rows before 18. I'd say I'll miss the late night arrival into JFK when there's no line at immigration, no line at baggage claim and no traffic on I-678... sigh!
No way in hell would I fly out of EWR.. It's what it actually is, "The Newark of all airports!"

I'm a bit biased as I was working in NJ a lot, so that made it a no brainer.
