Poshgirl58ParticipantEK has announced timetable adjustments to provide seamless A380 service for more onward connections.
From 1 January 2017, the BHX A380 will move from the current EK39/40 flights to EK37/38. For anyone not familiar with the BHX timetable, the A380 will now operate the afternoon flight ex DXB/evening departure ex BHX. EK39/40 will revert to 777.
MAN flights will all be A380 from the same date.

MartynSinclairParticipantWe were discussing on another thread (on many threads) that the 380 has not penetrated USA.
I wonder if there is an economic case for a number of airlines, jointly utilising a “shared high density” 380, for coast to coast travel.
It would benefit a reduction in number of flights needed, probably reduce costs and perhaps spare up slots…
Just a thought….

I doubt it. They prefer to differentiate from competitors and provide more regular flights to allow travellers flexibility.

You obviously haven’t tried JetBlue Mint

That’s upper deck quality, too.

FlightlevelParticipantThe possible purchase of A380s will depend on capacity required and LHR is full and so is LGW so there may be limits to the number of 777 slots available at those airports. The Americans can expand to STN and UK and Irish provinces though will that be enough before the 777X arrives? It also depends on a continued improvement of the trans atlantic market?

I think the Americans may fly to slightly more destinations than London 😉
