BCN should be thrice daily, also considering a switch from double daily nonstop A380 to daily nonstop A380 + daily B77L via MEX would be a high cut in capacity..

Is there a need to switch another B77L route to B77W due to the launch of daily MEX flights, e.g. ADL or GIG-SCL/EZE to B77W?

10 B77L in total currently used for:
OPO 4/7
FLL 4/7
ADL 7/7
GIG-SCL 3/7
GIG-EZE 4/7
+ some shorter routes to ME + India

They do offer J service on the newer 738s, even if the seats are not up to EK standards. I would expect a full refund be offered, but no partial refund.

why a full refund? They don’t guarantee a particular aircraft?

No, but they surely guarantee a particular airline?

How would you like it if your EK A380 got subbed with a BA 777?

thijsseh, Zol, Saltire74 and 1 others like this.

The new flydubai J class cabin looks great in the video for in the new MAX on short/medium haul but I very much doubt they will be fixed and out of storage by the 10th December.

Houston EK211/212 B777-300ER to replace A380 September and October 2019

Did not see this in the WIKI so I thought it may not be known, or is a last minute change. Not sure of the exact dates but seems to be September 10th to October 20th or so.
