And it won't be on any system. This (single) flight is a charter operated for the german soccer association and will return empty to FRA. You could book seats on that flight as the Lufthansa Fanflug for about 1400€, and all are sold already - so this flight (LH2010) won't be bookable anywhere.

Official- First A380 Flight to Jo'Burg June 6th!

Still no indication though of the routes it will serve thereafter, plus they're still keeping us in suspense about the cabin design (esp. the new F class!)

Lufthansa's first delivery at Hamburg is now set for May 19th. Then we will finally know more about the seating.
Here is a list of training flights and destinations for pilot training without pax. Maybe you can see it someplace?
