Good news wonder if it might be a case of getting your retaliation in first ahead of an announcement from a certain competitor?

Also noted a DH84 Dragon Rapide in the background of the photograph in nwoody2001 post 😃

Glasgow gets 380 from 26th March.

Don't guarantee this, as this may change in the future.

As can any route!!!!

Being bookable and having a formal press release is as good as its going to get until the plan is on the ground ....

Can't wait to see the Big Girl coming in over Darlaston now Live near the town can see them turn for Walsall finals or even over the Willenhall Area to Runway 15. I remember it flying from the Moxley direction or turning from Wednesbury to the Wednesbury/Pleck area low and slow and impressed as it glinted into the sun or seeing it at School or I think in the morning I saw an EK once. I have seen at from a far on the ground in 2019 passing BHX on a Coach to LHR

So now the emirates A380 is back in July we can now forward to more positive news in the next couple of months

Now looking forward to booking from BNE to BHX this UK summer. Unless you have used the A380 it is hard to imagine the difference between it and the 777 ( even in cattle class).

Used the A380 many times, just gives a little more premium experience comapred to the 777s. However A380s have the window shield which makes it hard to record

 

[KARFA]

The 777 is by far the worst aircraft for long flights in any cabin - the air is so dry you get completely dehydrated. I try and avoid them if I can.

The A380 is fine as was the 747. The A350 and 787 are much better as well.

 

[Scania1800]

I've been thinking about this alot but emirates rarley send 3 class planes to Birmingham. A 3 class A380 A6-EEV Once came to Birmingham, along with A6-EPI which came in on Christmas Day. I'm guessing their used for either lower demand or just not enough 2 class planes.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

I'm sure that numerous 3 class EK aircraft he been operated into BHX (Both A380 and B777). When they do, the first class is not sold/blocked off. This probably happens when bookings are lower than usual. Ian probably has records of the occasions that 3 class EK aircraft have operated to BHX.

Back in the day of the morning EK, I took it to DXB then onto BKK. First wasn't used but J was totally full and so was economy. Seems it was a popular flight. Maybe they'll bring it back one day 🤞

Those service are likely as demand from BHX is high

One of the most annoying (for me anyway) is flying back to BHX in J after having gotten off an F flight in Dubai as you are not permitted to use the first class lounge in Dubai as you are only getting onto a connecting business class flight.

Despite having purchased a flex or flex plus ticket for F. Wished they offered first as an option from BHX but hey ho, Emirates know their customer base better than their customers I suppose.

First world problems, I'll see myself out 😀

You would think that if it's a connecting flight, they'd let you use the first class lounge. Shame really.

Haha yeah, you'd think so - but no sadly not despite having a F flex ticket. Anyway, not trying to derail the thread.
