By the end of the year, the A340-500/B777-300/B777-200 ( a good chunk of their fleet) will have the "better" product and the A330-200/A340-300 will have an inferior product (although the A330s were recently refurbished, and the A340-300's were delivered with the A330 upgrades)



This is why / how / where Emirates is excellent - they don't seem to appear competitive - I agree. Yet somehow they are... they want 84 flights to AUS/NZ and they are agressively expanding in to Europe (5x daily to from LHR alone!!) Ex AUS/NZ GF seems to be the cheapest / most competitive but EK seems to be doing better mainly because of its frequencies and routes.
