You mean the 777s. Takes two to fly that route.
Looks like 380 #3 started test flights in December 2014 and #4 rolled out Jan. 21, but has not yet flown. A380 Production List

I personally wish SFO or SEA will get the 777s from JFK.

Welp! It's a ways off but excited at the end of the year I just booked my an F award for A380 JFK-ICN. Instead of doing the 50 min connection with OZ I went ahead for 3:55 to TG. I'll be spending about 5.5 weeks in Thailand so not in a real rush and would rather spend an extra 2.5 hours in the airport than worry about missing the 50 min connection.
Originally was going to book this r/t in paid J but since I am already re-qualified for 2016 with travel through July for 1K on UA I am going to save that $ to use to book US-BKK-US for a trip in early 2016 I'll need to do.

747 on JFK route??
I just went to select my seat for my flight on 3/27 from JFK-ICN and the plane is a 747, I thought it was all QS on this route, am I wrong?

Nope sorry I didn't see those other threads but do see it now. I guess I am just one of those random days. Oh well, maybe next time I get to try the new QS. Never tried the old J seat either so hoping it is adequate for such a long flight.

Does anyone know the official start date of ICN-JFK for the 380? I was seeing June on the Asiana website, however I just booked a flight on May 30th and right now its scheduled A380... showing seat map and all (this was a schedule change from when I first booked and it showed 777)

It will be a very tight connection.
That was with the LAX ICN flight on time, close to scheduled flight time.
Too close for comfort, and missing out on a visit to the lounge.

I already booked connecting to the TG flight that leaves after the OZ BKK flight so I'll have plenty of cushion to shower, eat, relax a bit.

Travelling OZ from JFK to SIN via ICN in business. Have travelled OZ from Europe to ICN but first time from JFK.
2 questions for the forum :
1. Which lounges can I use at JFK for before the OZ flt? More than 1 choice?
2. Have 6 hr layover in ICN and then flying SQ to SIN. Which lounge should I use in ICN? I have always used the OZ lounge in the past. But any better *A lounges in ICN?
Thank you all in advance..
