Etihad 777 F or A380 J

Hi,

Probably a bit of a funny question but still would like some input from the good folks of FT.

Going from Europe to Australia next year (possibly returning via US - making it a RTW) and am looking at redeeming AA miles for a flight from AUH to Australia.

E.g. for AUH-SYD I see there is some First class availability from time to time on the 777 flight but there's 0 availability on the A380 flight. Business class on the A380 however seems quite easy to get.

It would be 45.000 miles for J on A380 or 60.000 miles for F on 777 (x2 for 2 pax).

I'm a big fan of the A380 and it kind of seems that F on the 777 in comparable to J on A380 (1-2-1 configuration, ...) or even better is some regards (bar, ...).

What do you think?

PS: any chance of the 777 flight switching to the A380 next year? or even a A380 to MEL?
