Not range issues but there's just a lack of demand and EY don't have too many 380s
Emirates sells F well because they are committed to it but EY are not. So its dead in the water except some routes that will always have F demand (LHR for example). Shame. I would definitely have still flown EY (
) if they had better F options to SE Asia. Another fail...:-:
I know that you fly to HKT, are EY still sending decrepit old birds there with first gen seats?
Did a mileage run last year and seemed like a letdown to most travellers, esp those whod experienced business studio. F booking wouldn't be an option to BKK from Europe, so EY would probaby still struggle with F to an extent on the European routes.
F was non-existant for me 90% of the time for obvious reasons (a320) when I used to fly EY. Now with EK, I get F to MAA every once in a while and I'm still in awe with it, especially the newer aircraft.
