Concourse A - A380 terminal?
I think not - why would Tim Clark and his cronies spend 2 years crowing about how concourse A was a dedicated A380 terminal when in reality it's nothing more than extra gates. I've taken 4 EK flights in the last 4 weeks via DXB, all have been either 777 or A330 and all have been via concourse A (which admitedly has made my life easier).

Which is why they call it a concourse; a collection of gates rather than a terminal. If you want to be picky then yes it isn't yet dedicated to a380's but that is the ultimate aim. I prefer it to be open now rather than wait for it to be dedicated to only a380's.
