But is the below still correct, based on the latest info?

The only DXB flights into JFK that have the new F cabin are EK201 and EK202

201 = new first
203 = old first

Thank you.

are there actually any "new first" flying into LAX regularly now? If yes, which flight number?
someone swore that he booked one that has "new first" cabin but i am not sure if he got confused.

No. LAX is old First. JFK (201/202) is the only US gateway with new First.

The free subscription to ExpertFlyer gives access to seat maps. Just go to ‘seat alerts’. It’s a bit limited, only one cabin at a time and just a few queries but it does work.

Great, thanks for the tip!

I flew EK46/47 to and from Germany on April 16. It was still looking very new to me & in good shape. I find the slits in the door pop out of place easily, but they can easily pop back in to place too.

I took a ton of photos of the suite.

FYI - JFK getting the A380 back on June 1

Emirates will fly A380 to JFK as of June 1

With Emirates’ latest schedule update, the Dubai-based airline will be flying the A380 to New York once again as of June 1, 2021. Specifically, the airline will be using the A380 for the following frequency:

EK201 Dubai to New York JFK departing 8:30AM arriving 2:25PM
EK202 New York JFK to Dubai departing 11:00PM arriving 7:45PM (+1 day)

It’s worth noting that up until recently Emirates’ schedule showed the A380 resuming New York flights as of July 1, so the timeline has been pushed forward by a month.

As of June 1, Emirates will operate a total of 4x daily flights to the New York area:
  • The airline will operate two daily nonstop Dubai to New York flights, with one operated by the 777-300ER and the other operated by the A380
  • The airline will operate one daily nonstop Athens to Newark flight with a 777-300ER
  • The airline will operate one daily nonstop Milan to New York flight with a 777-300ER

Announcing is one thing, actually flying is another.
The seat maps for early June are so empty that I wouldn't be surprised if the A380 is swapped out for a 77W as we get closer.

They switched the seats for my middle June flight already. But yes, still cautious.

I was able to upgrade to a380 first class using amex points today. Very excited!

New 1st Routes?
 
Has anyone spotted where the lovely new 1st planes are being utilised now? The JFK one seems to be drawing to an end on that route… Anything a bit more long distance than its European routes?

Any reason there is no f availability except for a few days this month for dxb-jfk on an A380? But I see j wide open availability on A380 and 777. Why are they only opening f on the 777 and not on the A380 if the flights both have the same amount of open seats

You're going to have to add some punctation in there... I've read it 3 times I don't understand your question :)
