should I be worried?
 
I have managed to get a first class ticket on May 8th from DXB-JFK on the A380 and am super excited about this experience. Today I received a notice that my flight time has changed. Seems the departure is the same, but arrives 25 min later. Only rationale that I can think of would be if the aircraft changed. If thats the case, I may rebook to a different time, but the EK website still says A380. Any thoughts?

You should not be worried at all - simply a note on the arrival time. This is generally only an issue for transit pax who have a tight connection made impossible by a time change - in this case EK will rebook alternatives for you or give you the option to cancel I think.

Airlines adjust flight times, all the time without change of equipment. I wouldn't be worried one bit.

Thanks for the reassurance!

Had mine changed many times, always been the same metal.

Time change might be due to the shift of summer hour in the USA while Dubai doesn't have a time change. I guess all flights after mid-March will be affected...
Or it may be because the wind directions are expected to change in May... Any reason goes actually...
EK won't easily remove/change an A380 from their premium destinations
