Is the SFO flight on the A380? If I wanted to fly on the A380 where should I fly out from?
The flight is usually c. 15 hours each way (Ek states 15h45 for SFO-DXB, but when I did it in March it took 14h45). In J and F, you have two full meals plus 'light bites', which can be ordered at any time. In F it is dine on demand. SFO also has its own EK lounge, which to me is a plus.
Currently SFO-DXB is operated on a 777-300ER. There is a rumour it is to be changed to an A380 once the newer, longer-haul A380s arrive. I am not sure if/when that will happen.
