A380 now bookable
 
According to these guys via FlightBlogger one can now book for the maiden EK flight of the A380, EK201 from DXB to JFK on 1 October 2008. It looks like a r/t F seat with a one week stay in NYC is ~$6,700. Flying in J will set you back ~$4200 and Y is ~$1400.

The article cites etravelblackboard.com saying that there will be shower facilities on the plane. Carrying that extra ton of water will burn a lot of fuel, so hopefully they are selling a lot of those F fares.

Anyone booked yet :p

Seats on the A380 were available for booking for more than a month now.
I recall checking out fares/seats in F; ex several countries around UAE (but not UAE) F fares are $4200US, J $2800US, and Y in the $1200US+.

That's good fares! I tried a dummy booking but I got quote more than double that price. How did you do it?

Fares seem to be the same as regular EK NYC-DXB fares, even for the inagural. I badly want to get on the 1st JFK-DXB (and I have no excuse since I live in NYC!) flight, but I don't think I have the time.

Cheers,
