being a skywards member its pretty sad...

when are you supposed to be flying?

terrible to be hearing the changes from 380 to 777..

7th..a day left sol..
horrible news ever..

Its happens unfortunately

Hi

Sorry to hear this. I'm also going on the EK002 in the end of March and I have to admit that part of the reason for choosing Emirates was the fact that I'll be getting to fly the A380 for the first time. SO I hope that this will not happen when I'm supposed to take of.

Did this actually happen in the end? According the FlightStats, is was an A380. However, I'm not sure how accurate the information is.

Cheers,
Rick

yeah it did happen...it was a 777nd dat too packed comp...i heard n FA telling that only one seat was left in economy...so think EK must b really contented by fooling so many ppl..

Sorry, my text speak translator gave up.

Why do people insist on using text speak on a forum? Especially when each full stop is repeated multiple times...

Agreed. One of the things I like about FT is the overall decent standard of literacy. "Text speak" stands out a mile is rightly frowned upon.

dude get a life...
if it pisses you so much don bother reading....
flyertalk is a forum about flying not talking or typin...olrite..

Fair enough, you've just become the first person on my ignore list! Congratulations on the achievement.

I doubt it is the most horrible news ever. Assuming I understand what you said correctly.

Indeed it isn't the worst news ever!

That accolade surely goes to the news that (s)he's been placed on an ignore list.

Yeah, this is not great news to hear from EK. So what is reason why EK is kick out of A380 aircraft due to equipment change. So I'm sure if EK will expected to have reinstates from 77W to A380 aircraft if they have more capacity passengers. I can't guarantee that where A380 will flying somewhere else.

What class of service did you travel in? How was the service overall? Did you have any problems with the service or food?

On my Feb 1 flight on a 777-300ER that was substituted for an A380, the flight service seemed to be in a state of confusion. The snack in business class consisted of nuts. Fortunately the nuts were excellent. Something like a cheese tray after the main meal would have been great. The staff was pleasant and tried real hard to make things work. They had only one "meal-list/menu" so when it got misplaced, the staff had some difficulty answering questions about the food. My EK flight 10 hours before, a regional 6 hour business class flight, had actual menus and wine lists for each business class customer, unlike the DXB-JFK flight.
