Would of thought the beast was a tad heavy premium-wise for LAS. Majority of LAS are on Mid-J.

CPT can't receive the A380, otherwise I'm sure BA would be sending it there already.

Aside from LAS, maybe YYZ, DXB or PEK?

Don't think CPT can take it, else that'd be an option.

I would guess that it will not be EDI.

No problem with the 380 at DFW, although I doubt BA will operate it there.

However, it would be nice.....

Any chance it's a new 5th freedom route, say to Australia for example?

Kind regards

But a few days there are 104 J seats to LAS. I imagine they certainly don't fill the 28 F seats with cash customers, so this may solve the demand for J and less for F. Would probably see less F open up though ...

Expecting it to be Las Vegas, with the route going 1 x A380 instead of 2 x 747 as per Vancouver.

Hoping it will be Chicago.

They need one to Malaga during August! It might drop the prices and pigs may fly past the windows too!

Hmm, paid off 747s in all economy offering cheap-as-chips tickets to popular European destinations over the summer.

Cabin crew on my flight last month touted A380s at JFK and A380 gates when they redo the lounges. I can't see that though.
