Does anyone know which out of BKK-SYD and HKG-MEL would be most likely to get an A380 by then?

Thanks

Edit: Just noticed typo in the title. Should be 'by'

I suspect neither.

There are not enough 388s yet to operate all the core routes 7 days per week (MEL/SYD-LHR(via SIN)/LAX), so I think we are highly unlikely to see a 388 on the BKK or HKG route soon.

My money would be on HKG over BKK anyhow as BKK is so leisure focussed.
