That's great news. Saves a time-consuming and expensive transfer in JNB.

SEA soon. ;)

Not yet and not for a while unless if they have enough aircraft available.

So I'm guessing that Emirates will have new routes in the future since they will inevitably receive more aircrafts ?

Well with 1 A380 delivery a month between now and April and 2 B777 each month next year, we should see alot of new routes and aircraft changes. Aswell as the much needed retirement of the A330... 2 of which have already left the fleet to Virgin Australia.

PLEASE will someone knowledgeable, let me know if the A330 that flies DUR-DXB is one of those going to be retired soon!?
Paying for C class on that plane is robbery. even the flight attendants agree with me! :mad::confused:

some1 started a new thread for EK new routes/updates for 2012

I don't really see the logic in separate threads for the same topic. Changes keep happening, and it gets confusing if one has to switch between threads. Perhaps the mods could change the thread title to make it new routes and changes, and drop the 'for 2011'.

Agreed. Consider it done... ;)
