Thanks for the replies. Have the blue status now- previously had gold but haven't traveled much in the last 2-3 years.
So if I had to take a chance- is it better that I fly out of JFK instead of DFW or IAH ? As there are more business & also economy seats on an A380 vs B777 and there are 2 flights everyday from JFK to DXB versus only one from DFW or IAH..
