For those searching for seats, I discovered a ton of award seats in the A380 First Apartment from
London --> Abu Dhabi between April - Oct 2016.
Dates with 3+ seats:
- July 24: 4 seats
- July 26: 5 seats
- August 3: 5 seats
- August 4: 3 seats
- August 5: 3 seats
- August 6: 5 seats
- August 7: 5 seats
- August 8: 6 seats
- August 11: 4 seats
- August 16: 4 seats
- August 18: 4 seats
- August 21: 4 seats
- October 23: 4 seats
- October 24: 6 seats
- October 26: 5 seats
- October 27: 2x flights with 3 seats
Here's the calendar I made that shows the available dates, all dates are for
London --> Abu Dhabi:
While the Australia routes provide the best value, the routes to/from Europe are also a good deal at just 40,000 miles one-way for 7-8+ hours in the First Apartment:
Abu Dhabi-AUH → New York-JFK = ~6.1k AA miles/hr
Abu Dhabi-AUH → London-LHR = ~4.9k AA miles/hr
Melbourne-MEL → Abu Dhabi-AUH = ~4.3k AA miles/hr
Sydney-SYD → Abu Dhabi-AUH = ~4k AA miles/hr
Hope some find the info useful!
