In a heartbeat, especially if you can get a window seat on the Gamechanger. Since HND-DXB is also the Gamechanger, you'd get a double.

one drawback is I would have 1 hour and 40 minutes to make my southwest flight and I need to check in bags.. decisions, decisions, decisions.

If you're already experiencing the game changer from HND and have never experienced A380 F, I would keep as is. You get to experience both products (and shower on a plane!)

It looks like Flight EK404 from DXB to MEL will feature the new Game Changer First Class starting around March 31st. This could be due to the switch to the summer schedule.

Hello. Is there a recent update for Oct/Nov somewhere around summer-winter schedule change?
I looked at NCE/FRA/STN/ZRH/VIE and no longer see the game changer F cabin.
I do see it for GVA/BRU in Europe.

For the US, is there anywhere besides ORD?

I see MEL for AUS and HND for Japan.

Am I missing any other places besides Saudi?

Thanks.

Besides the occasional substitute for other 4-class aircraft, that is their planned usage this summer.

I am currently seeing a few other routes gaining these aircraft this winter, suggesting there are some changes to come.

Care to provide where you are seeing them on winter 2025-2026?

As CaptainEKAirbus’ profile name suggests, they work for EK. Information from them has almost always been good.
