Looking like Q2 2026 for the first refurb A380.

So in practice, an aircraft visiting the US west coast will typically also visit the east coast and whatever little is left of Asia, Latin America Africa etc and for instance with CS, from the very start, LAX for instance had some flights without CS but also some flights with them etc.

of course, in the context of the 380, the options and numbers are a lot more limited, It will all depend on rotations but most likely given numbers in early months, for a given route, some days will get new cabins and some won’t.
