F availability in the 380 (award tix)?
I'm searching on the AC (and awardnexus) engines and am seeing availability this week in F - JFK-FRA. It says 744 though... Doesn't that route have the 380 on it? Is this just a mistake??

I don't know if there is a list but if you look around, there is plenty of information.
Currently, only flights out of FRA are with A380, destinations are:
Tokyo, Johannesburg, Beijing, Miami, San Fransisco (all daily) and New York (I believe not daily but couple times a week).
Later in the year they will fly to Singapore (daily) and therefor cancel some of the North American destinations.

If you're using AC miles, don't bother. I believe only M&M members can book A380 F awards.

I wouldn't be so completely sure about "A388s are only available for M&M SEN and HON":
Also, there's been space noted on MIA-FRA.
About five days ago I was looking for award space between San Francisco and Frankfurt for a client for sometime next year, and I couldn’t help but notice a first class award seat on the Lufthansa A380 between San Francisco and Frankfurt. It wasn’t what my client was looking for, so I thought to myself “well, someone’s gonna get lucky.”
Last night I couldn’t help but wonder whether the space was still there. I figured it was a near guarantee that it would be gone, but it wasn’t. So I couldn’t help myself, and I booked it.
