That's true for DXB-JFK, but what about other routes like DXB-SIN (which definitely uses 777s)?

I'm just wondering if theres a chance the new F appears outside those 9 routes at all. In the past it seemed like EK didn't have enough fixed routes to deploy the 9 777s with the new F, and hence they were deployed as and where capacity called for it. But I suppose nobody can answer this question unless they work in/know someone in EK, so we'll just have to wait till mid-August or so to know for sure.

Anyway, this is just my own curiosity. I would have thought that EK would try to feature the new F on their longest haul and most lucrative premium markets, but it seems like they're mostly being used for ~6-7h flights to Europe.
