EK425 (PER-DXB) and EK424 (DXB-PER) from a A380 to a B777

From March 27

(Had booked best seats in J on both flights, now 7 abreast 777 on both ... and ... no, can't switch to F or different flights (and found out too late to get the better/less worse J seats either)!

)

I wonder which of CMN / NRT / BCN got my plane!

(NB: To rub salt into the wounds, the current a380s serving the route are the weeks-old just-added-to-the-fleet aircraft!)

Just done a dummy booking for LHR-BKK in November, just noticed that EK374/5 is now displaying as a 2 class 380, previously always been a 3 class, iam booked on it in July and that flight is still showing it as a 3 class, so maybe changes after summer, or EK just hasn't updated that part of system? This will join EK372/3 and EK370/1 as 2 class 380 flying into and out of BKK. I thought first class generally sold well flying to BKK? Buisness class is often oversold on this route, and last time I flew This a route was upgraded to first, which was also completely full. Has EK advertised this change yet?

From DXB alone that's upwards of 50 F seats daily.

Given what carriers globally say about F sales and BKK's image as a leisure destination rather corporate F demand (although there definitely is corporate F demand into BKK on EK!), I wouldn't read too much into it!

EK099/100 has been loaded with B77W. Meanwhile EK095/096 will move back from A380 to B77W.

Is the PER switch permanent or a seasonal change?

It's permanent as more 380s are deployed on higher yielding routes or turned into beer cans.
If the travelling public want to pay another 10-15% premium, they can have the 380 back to their non slot constrained airport ^

That said, they did bring this a380 service a little late to the party, and it was introduced as pax numbers collapsed with the horribly mismanaged State economy, and drop in our "Mining boom". So, it will have been in place for around 8 months of low load, and pulled when the numbers probably start to improve! (Unless the 777 drives them to other carriers ... very likely)
Certainly gives a big advantage to the otherwise pretty shaky economics of the QF 787 direct to LHR, which will start a year from this dropping of the a380...
