Also I noticed that EK seems to be phasing out the 2-class frames only, understandable since they probably have way more cycles than the 3-class ones, but no new 2-class frames have been delivered since A6-EPT, which was in 2016. |

Can anyone confirm the frames that the new A380 bar is on? A lot of news reports and posts have EUX as the first frame and thus EUY, EUZ and EVA should have it, but since the frames delivered out of "alphabetical order" I am not entirely sure if there are other frames that have the new bar.
Here's the delivery order starting at EUX according to airfleets: (MSN- Delivery Date - Reg. No.) 241 27/07/2017 A6-EUX 242 29/08/2017 A6-EUY 244 29/09/2017 A6-EUZ 236 27/10/2017 A6-EUT 239 06/11/2017 A6-EUV 234 30/11/2017 A6-EUS 232 16/03/2018 A6-EUR 167 26/04/2018 A6-EVA 238 01/07/2018 A6-EUU 240 17/09/2018 A6-EUW I've scoured the 'net for photographic proof (assuming it's tagged correctly) and surmise that UX, UY, UZ, UT, UV have the newest bar. The rest, just don't have proof. |

Not really sure about the route where A6-EMX currently flown now, but before EMX along with EMV is gone by end of month. The most route I can see is DXB-MAA or DXB-BOM they currently flown at. Both will soon operated by 77W.

Today EK is sending a 2 class 777 to Perth, WA instead of the usual 3 class, A6-EPQ is operating for flight EK424 today. |
Will be flying BKK-DXB on October 10th on a 777-200LR. Seat selection in Manage My Booking shows Economy starting from row 14, so I guess this is a reconfigured frame. I know that there is one row in the 777-200LR that has no windows. According to SeatGuru this is row 18 in the three class version of the 772L. Does anyone happen to know what row this is in the new configuration? Having switched to a window seat, I'm certainly not looking forward to having picked the row without window.

Just because an aircraft gets older doesn’t mean it needs to be retired. Any quality airline will refurbish the cabins and ensure it’s of the same standard as their newest aircraft. The usable life of a modern aircraft is at least 20 years if properly maintained. A tired cabin doesn’t mean the aircraft is ready for the wreckers, it just means the airline hasn’t done their job properly.

------------------- B777-300 (A6-EMX) seems to have ended it's 15 year long career with EK, it hasn't flown for the past 4 days and will retire at the end of this month alongside A6-EMV. |
