I think they use that stand for other flights also. If the plane on there gets delayed, the A380 will need to go remote. I bet EK weren't very pleased.

All the passengers, YC&F were bussed out together, chaos, and took forever, it seems that the bridge was broken, bodes well for the twice daily 380 service being trialled this week.
I did suggest to the CC that perhaps it was a lady Captain, who had a spot of bother parking, it went down well with the chap, his female colleague less so !

I'm already dreading the thought of having to switch to MAN from April 2014. I have been using LGW and rarely LHR to connect to EK for the last few years.
With flybe stopping its gatwick flights, MAN is the only option. MAN is always jinxed for me. Either my luggage arrives at the other end broken, flight delayed or even cancelled .
Out of my 5-6 flights out of MAN in the last few years, I think only one was OK

The walk to the gate (if they use one) is miles!
