Schedule change just came out for June. Anyway, Emirates killed the A380 service and replaced it with 777. No clue if new or old first class. This solidifies my decision and will just fly from IAH to DXB.
A380 still on schedule for July.
I check prior to lunch (as I do every morning) for first class seats, had A380 at the 11 pm slot. Now 777...
Also read on blog, Emirates did announce the return of 5th freedom flights starting in June out of the NYC area.
