Excellent! Is LYS the first time EK launches a new European destination with a departure in the afternoon bank? WAW was inevitable (large population, growing middle class, under-served). ADL has been rumoured for some time. Is this non-stop service?

A personal ^ for WAW! Thank you EK - I was worried they would serve it with Flydubai ...

Lyon
EK081 DXB LYS 1435 1900 EK082 LYS DXB 2055 0615+1 5 times weekly with A345. This is the first European destinations that has its single outbound frequency in the afternoon bank, undoubtedly a result of the increasing congestion issues in the morning. It is the second European flight (after Lisbon) with its single inbound frequency in the early morning bank. Connectivity is still very good. Warsaw EK179 DXB WAW 0730 1045 EK180 WAW DXB 1350 2215 Daily with A332. Schedules for this flight fit the traditional pattern for primary European flights, but the return is quite early, because of the relatively short flying time and that will lead to increased connecting times. Adelaide EK440 DXB ADL 0155 2045 EK441 ADL DXB 2245 0545+1 4 weekly and later daily with B77W. Schedule is built mainly for European connectivity although the flight connects well to the entire EK network. Perth EK422 DXB PER 2145 1225+1 EK423 PER DXB 1530 2225 5 weekly and later daily with B77W. This flight has seemingly little connectivity. Both flights connect to the third daily European banks, which are still very much in a build up stage |

P.S. On a side note, SQ has codeshare flights to WAW... but you cannot even select the city on their website when making a booking. You thought they would have fixed this ahead of Euro 2012... but nope, no can do. :) |
Adelaide is good news for my family, though not me personally.
Overall, sensible additions as always. |

WAW used to have the most expensive fuel in Europe as there was only one provider (PetroLOT - yes - supported by LO - IIRC LO has 49% shares in PetroLOT) - now there is a new one (BGS - Latvian company) and I heard (don't remember where - sorry) the fuel prices went down significantly - even below the average European levels. This is what competition can do - bring EK to previously under-served airport^ |
Great destinations announced indeed! Looking forward to the deployment of the A388 to DME.
