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. Its a bit limited, only one cabin at a time and just a few queries but it does work.

FYI - JFK getting the A380 back on June 1
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:

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!

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
