The BEY upgrade i believe was a late swap. The aircraft inbound from EK425 (PER) which was an A343 was supposed to operate EK953/954 to BEY but because EK425 was running late, they swapped the equipment to an A345 - A6-ERH.

Switch the JFK route to a 777 for what time period? I just booked DXB to JFK instead of DXB to IAH just for the A380. The TA said she was told the DXB to JFK A380 route sells out always, at least in F. How light are the loads?

This is the reason for my question in another thread about the possibility of the A380 being used on the DXB to IAH route.
