DFW gets it quite often, but it is not guaranteed. Had DFW-DXB booked for 8/29 and was looking at the data quite deeply. Unfortunately, I have had to reschedule, but am pretty hopeful that one of EQH/EQL/EQP/EQM registrations could fly the inbound EK221 on 8/29.
DXB-MLE-DXB (EK658/659) is also another route which is not published, but gets the new F planes very frequently. |
On a side note: Is it just me or does the wear & tear in the new F feel pretty high, given the short time it is in sevice?
From the last 3 flights (usually from Haneda) I noticed the following: - Leather of the armrests looks pretty used and is loosing the creamy white color - Glass missing in the door on the bar right to the screen, so drinking glass (luckily didn't break), popcorn and cans falling out during takoff, on the bar to the right, the glass on the top shelf was bent and looked like it was gonna fall off soon - The gold molding on the table under screen loosing its golden color on some parts and was loose on one one place - The "wallpaper" (I dont know how else to call it) on the wall next to the service window looked like there are 2 or 3 big bubbels of air under it - The light control sometimes went berzerk and resetted itself (ceiling lights suddenly turn on, other lights show alle different colors for 1 or 2 seconds) which was a bit annoying when napping or watching tv - Door sometimes stuck, had to use a lot of force to open it - This is more a personal thing: The 2 personal air vents are nice, but waaaaaay too loud for my taste All in all, its still an awesome first class with lots of personal space and I got some of the best hours of sleep i ever had in a plane, however some material and/or design choices just don't feel very high class |

It is actually
I still don’t see what all the hype is about. I think I’d much rather showers on the A380 then a fully enclosed suite. The current seats have plenty of room and total privacy that nobody can really see into. Especially with the high walls on the 380 that staff has to go out of their way to look in. What do people need a fully enclosed suite for anyway? I can still pick my nose and eat the boogers without anyone seeing in the old suites with the door closed. |

DXB-MLE? I guess it’s better than nothing but I’d at least like to spend some time in the new F. I still don’t see what all the hype is about.

Is there anyway to know if these were in advance or last minute equipment swaps? |

But hey, you do you..... :D Build that wall! :p |

Climate control. I love to be cold, especially when I'm sleeping.
