My wishful thinking:
An A380 to JNB and a second daily to DUR to allow for better connection times!

better customer service 
ability to waitlist for D class for Gold and Plat members again
open up D class to Gold and Plats before other members
new J class offering (as much as I like the angled lie flats I think CX new offering is better)
suites as F with no more skycruiser lottery
better online amendment booking system, clearly showing it may change your ticket type even if you do not amend a particular segment
more competitive fares ex DXB
Upgrade EK 20 to the 380
EX MAN flights to the USA

Going to sound like a broken record, but as this a new thread, I'm going to throw in my 2p 
Flights to ATL, MIA, EDI, ABZ, ORD, SAN, OSL, BRU and DPS, plus transcontinental flights from LGW, MAN or BHX.
Better customer service and the biggest one for EK would be an "all EK" lounge for any paying passenger, regardless of class of travel, or skywards level.

. I'd add BOS to the list as well & put more 380's into the US. I still fly thru JFK regardless of destination in the US because of this. Another city they may want to add is MEXAs for the "ALL EK lounge idea, must disagree. I already think they should have more separate F & C lounges at busy airports like JFK, LHR, FRA, etc. I have no problem with more lounges for other passengers ( Silver, economy, etc) but not mixed in w F (and J) passengers. All that would do is make F & J less special (and not worth the premium charged)

Another: ability to use miles from other accounts by nominating ie when upgrading my wife and I why can't I use separate accounts online? The last time I called up they still took from one account

MIA, XIY, OSL, BRU, HEL, ORD, BER once the new airport opens, anywhere in Canada once they stop the squabbling.

My wish: Service to Stansted using Boeing 777s or (highly unlikely) A380s.
