This was published today. What's going to happen tomorrow?

Could it be a complete rebranding? A lot of the national tree in the F cabin as well as new colours in economy with the blue...

Ah! I thought this was published on Saturday. I have no idea but I know that there have been select trials of F pax checking their bags in when they are picked up by CD. A staff member checks the luggage in and they are loaded to the car, then you don't see them until the other side.

Doesn't sound like big enough to justify the teaser video with Clarkson, though

The video was published AFTER the EK F promo video and live broadcast tour

The rumour mill is churning.....

Latest I've got on the next unveiling is potential preview of the new 1-2-1 J seat on the 777X launching in 2020.

Even if this is wrong, I love being an EK FF if just for the sheer excitement of these outrageous and ostentatious unveilings.

Think it's a little too early still for that, surely? Wouldn't have expected to see that unveiled until DAS in 2019 or ITB 2020 depending on when first delivery is scheduled within 2020.

The A380 was far more significant than a new J cabin, but concepts were displayed as early as 2005.

I still think a rebrand is looking like the most likely story.

Or... Will it be the additional A380s announcement?

Of course the big lines will be at the 777.
Isn't the A319 the same one they have had for a while or is this a new addition?

​​​​​​I assumed it's their old one. The SR22s are actually quite new
