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

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,
