Well I just flew out from NRT yesterday and can confirm its the new first class.
There are of course numerous circumstances in which people can fly to or from Japan - I am returning there in a few weeks. Having said that, I think it is unlikely HND will restart by September.
EK put on an event at the Mercedes Benz dealership in Roppongi just before the pandemic (start of February 2020) showcasing the new first class and together with promotional fares, sold quite a few tickets. I think it is safe to say that the new F will carry on this route for a while.

The current DXB-BKK-HKG routing (EK384/385) still remains.

Seems the Friday (Saturday 00;10 from HKT-DXB) return flights BKK_HKT_DXB still show old First. Although the outbound (from DXB_HKT_BKK had the new First.
I can’t see there being a different plane in BKK doing the return? No other day of week with this issue. Hoping just not loaded properly, as my HKT-DXB, of course, is on one of the days affected 😕

Question to the experts of this thread: I know it's relatively easy with enough flexibility to find a single new F seat available with EK miles on the 777 between Europe and DXB, and that it's almost impossible to find two. But if I book one seat that's available with miles a month out, what are the chances that a second one opens up before departure? Thinking about booking one person in F and one in J and then bumping up the second person to F if it becomes available before departure, but no idea what the odds are of that strategy paying off or if it's more likely I'll just end up alone in J for 6+ hours.
