I do hope that you purchased your flights from EK, like I did when my LAX-DXB aircraft was switched out from an A380 to a 777, with the only 'notification' being a change in arrival time. For those who 'flamed' me for using the term 'executive assistant' - think 'flight attendant' versus 'stewardess'. On this side of the Atlantic, we've not used the word 'stewardess' for decades (unlike our UK bretheren, apparently). Same thing with 'exec assistant' and 'secretary', folks. But, I digress.....
I have no idea what you are referencing. And of course they can change the equipment. I am saying I would be disappointed. Thats all that either of us had said. And what would I care what anybody has to say on here that is condescending? What are you talking about with the Executive Assistant, etc.? I don't know last time anybody said stewardess. I also don't remember the last time they allowed smoking on a plane.
Fun-Fact: Did you know that stewardesses is the longest single word that you can type using only the left-handed keys on a qwerty board?
Anyways, I have not flown on the A380 yet, so that is why I hope to. I imagine the 777 has a nice First cabin as well...
