There is a very short list of routes which are regularly scheduled on new F, I think it's basically the below (I could be missing one or two, so please feel free to correct me if wrong):

- STN
- GVA
- FRA
- BRU
- HAM
- VIE
- HND
- MLE
- RUH
- KWI

There was a period previously before all of the above were scheduled where the frames moved around a bit, but EK seem to have worked out what to do to improve utilisation now so they only very occasionally pop up not on the above routes. In North America, Houston seems to get one every now and then (presumably the flight time works to maximise utilisation?) but I haven't seen it deployed to SEA.
DFW also got it a few times this summer, but I haven't heard reports of any other US destinations receiving it other than IAH/DFW and maybe ORD a couple of times?
