Flight is operating as EK2675 on the inbound (DXB-JNB), departing DXB @9am and arriving in JNB @ 15:20. Then EK2676 on the outbound (JNB-DXB) leaving JNB @ 17:00 then arriving in DXB @ 3:00am. Pretty good timing on the inbound for folks based in DXB imo.

However pretty strange for EK to be doing this ? Excessive demand or trialling the option of how well a 5th flight work on the JNB sector.
Didn't see spotted - extra flight to / from LHR on 3 class 777:

15-17 Dec & 05-07 & 13 Jan:

DXB LHR 1510 1910 EK2641
LHR DXB 2110# 0800 EK2642
