I see press releases that they started service last October, and there is an A380 DBX-JNB details page in Google's cache that has a "back to A380 schedule" link that returns to the above page. All of the other detail pages show flight numbers, dates and times. The JNB detail page is empty.

Kayak shows all 777-300ER's, which do have only a few rows of J - closer to OP's description than the 20+ rows on an Emirates A380.

Perhaps they stopped the 380 on this route?


(I also found a version of the now-empty Emirates detail page that shows EK 761 and EK762 with a "valid to" date of 2/29/12. Kayak still shows EK761 but with a 777-300ER)

To the point above, when OP asked about DXB-JNB and EK flew one A380 and two 777's/day, I think the appropriate comparison indeed was with different aircraft in their fleet. I doubt SQ flies DXB-JNB, which was the original question.
