Excluding any schedule updates between now and then, PRG is supposed to be the first route with the new 3-class 388.

Lots still to be announced by EK, including the official launch of the 3-class 77L which is supposed to be entering service in less than two weeks. |
It looks like they are changing EK368 from A380 to B777 after January 16. Anyone knows if they will refurbish that one to new 3 class layout? Or rather switching to B777 for lower season...

The A380 will back on flight EK368/ 369 from 25th of February

The first of the converted 3-class (J/W/Y) A380s appear to be loaded in the schedules from June onwards, indicating conversions taking place starting May. The economy class cabin on the upper-deck will be converted into the new premium economy cabin. All routes except CPH will gradually receive the refurbished frames between June and October 2026.
I would guess the reason we are not seeing CPH loaded with the new cabin is that the A380 on the route will be replaced with a double daily frequency of another aircraft type. As we had previously seen, a tentative schedule for EK153/154 was published for summer 2025 that was a late afternoon departure ex-DXB. |
Emirates has reported SEA (EK229/230) will be switching to a Boeing 777-200LR instead from the Northern Summer schedule (29 Mar onwards).
The first Boeing 777-200LR has come out of refurbishment. Question though, are the old Weber seats removed from Economy and replaced with the Safran Z400 seats (I think similar enough to the ones on EQH-EQP and EVN-EVS)? Or is that still retained despite Premium Economy installed? |
I can confirm A6-EPD has been fitted with starlink. I flew on this on Saturday and it was fantastic. The WiFi was disabled as we flew over India (quite annoying), but other than that it worked perfectly.
I wish we had a resource somewhere that allowed us to see exactly which aircraft has been fitted with starlink. |

A6-EVG looks to be on its way to Beijing for maintenance, it’s just left Dubai as EK2582.
Presumably EUT will be the one returning home. |
Can anyone advise which of the 777 EQ registrations have the upgraded/game changer 1st Class ?
Looking to go next week on EK404 Dubai to Melbourne which seems to be the EQ aircraft. Thanks |
A6-EQH till A6-EQP.

Should also have asked how many 1st Class suites do they have. |
