[QUOTE=chunk73;12752630]Well I am booked with a colleague on EK8 on the 2nd Dec to DXB and then onto Luanda in C class. Guess what.....already changed from a 380 to the dreaded 777-300ER.
Not too sure, but I thought the only A380 service out of LHR is EK1. Others may care to correct me if I am wrong.

Correct - for now only EK1/2 are operated by A380. Perhaps once all 58 aircraft are delivered they will be in a position to replace all LHR operations with the beast.
Its also my understanding that EK do not charge a 'premium' for their A380 flights compared to those 777 flights on the same sector. Therefore there shouldnt be a monetary refund to speak of except for one of having to lower your expectations

I remember seeing this sheet in the galley, middle of the night, on a midnight walk to the can. Went back with the phone to take a pic, and they had removed it. So from what I recall.
=D
Code:
------------------------------------------------------------------ Mr. Flyer Talk EK12345678 some random text that I cannot recall High Value Customer ------------------------------------------------------------------ Mr. Airliners Net EK1234567p some random text that I cannot recall ------------------------------------------------------------------ Mr. PPRUNE EK12345680 some random text that I cannot recall
I saw this list posted in the Galley a couple weeks ago for the first time. I quickly scrolled it to find my name- and it said also Favourite Drink, which I presume is from the Skywards profile -- there was onemore line of info but could not see it and then was the High Valued Customer.

Actually my bad - it was EK 4 I am on I think (leaves LHR at 2000), not EK 8. What I can say though is right up until last weekend it was a 380 on my itinerary and the seat map on Emirates.com. I can tell as I deliberately went for a window upstairs when booking the seat...which they transferred a to a 77W seat map...so I changed to an aisle seat. The window is fine on the 380...not on the 77w for me!
Interesting info on the Starcruiser seats bein gon all 773's and not all 77W's. Are these the ones that I got on a 77W not long ago...very nice if so?
