Emirates also operates the A380 twice daily to Manchester, once daily to Birmingham and once daily to Glasgow making a total of 13 daily A380 flights to the UK.
Incredible I wouldn’t think the UK will demand that much A380 service from Dubai especially with BA and Virgin having a strong hold on the market. But then if you look at the US airlines AA, UA, Delta all have up to or above 20 Daily flights each to LONDON alone add BA, Virgin, Norse etc and the US to LONDON market is the most profitable one in the world.
I have flown London to Dubai on Emirates, London to Abu Dhabi on Etihad and London to Doha on Qatar, all in A380's. Flying in A380 even in Economy is a fantastic experience. With new ULR planes, A380 might not be financially viable anymore but the experience will be unmatched, and if they continue I will continue to fly with them even paying some extra bucks
Etihad brought back the A380 for the London routes. I think the A380 service will continue for some time. Considering the high demand for aviation and the A380
The A380 can do pretty ULR routes. Emirates fly a A380 Dubai -> Auckland direct daily, at 14,200 km it's currently the 6th longest scheduled flight in the world. The AKL -> DXB direction is >17 hours scheduled duration. Flown it myself a couple times, a good experience.
I flew with Emirates last February (LGW-DXB-HYD) the flight was operated by a A380. Really comfortable experience in Economy class. Transit in Dubai went really smoothly as well. The last bit of my journey (DXB-HYD) was operated by 777, you can really tell the difference in terms of comfort between the A380 and the 777. Overall I think traveling on the A380 was one of the most comfortable experience I ever had in economy class. Would definitely be willing to pay extra just to be able to travel on the A380.
I flew to Dubai Emirates Business and it was full, not a seat to spare. I fly a lot (I mean a lot) and I’ve not been on a nearly full or full flight all year. Thankfully the world is getting back to normal.
LGW is my favourite London airport for my relatively regular London - Dubai vv trips, mainly in business class. The EK LGW lounge is the best outstation lounge in the system!
@@johnguidetti5839 I have used the LHR lounge several times. The main advantage is that you cab board from the lounge. And of course the view is better than in LGW (where there is no view!). But the food at LGW is much better and the staff are super friendly. And it seems less crowded. LGW suits me better than LHR to travel to / from.
Emirates. Brisbane / Dubai and then Manchester. A380 all the way. Managed to get a business class upgrade with miles. Simply superb. Lie flat bed and brilliant food. Bar at the rear a great place to meet new friends.

The A380 is the most comfortable plane I have ever flown with. Even Milan Malpensa has two daily flight to Dubai with the A380. One is EK206 JFK-MXP-DXB and EK 92 MXP-DXB
I could imagine a zero frills lay flat service working, somewhat like zipair, people might pay a little extra to sleep through a 16 hour flight and could probably fit appropriately 350 of these seats in an a380.
Compared to London, the New York area has only two daily A380 flights, and one 777 flight from JFK, and one daily 777 flight from Newark. Even in the US, the south Asian diaspora being the largest group of people transiting through Dubai.
@@__Man__is it to visit Dubai or to just stop before going to the UK? Why Dubai when you can take the non stop via British Airways, Virgin or Air India?
@@JeanClaudeCOCO firstly, flight through Dubai is cheaper because their plane always full-booked since it has many choices of destinations and many Indians are obsessed with Dubai also.

Speaking of large hubs like London..are there any chances of speaking about the differences before and after the covid...

Based off the A380s alone (EK flying the 2 class A380s to Gatwick and 4 class A380s to Heathrow), they have a daily capacity of approx. 6200 passengers. Using their 3 Class 777s in their densest config, they’d need at least 17 to match that number in terms of pure seating capacity alone, not accounting for premium demand. If we turned the clock back to before they introduced Premium Economy, bringing daily capacity up to about 6500, you’d need about 18 777s.
@@loki2547 More passengers is never a problem bro, Less passengers is a problem, If after phasing out they have more demand they will be more than happy to fulfill but if they have less demand than it's a problem.
@@arjunhar4866 more passengers is most definitely a problem at LHR. Even keeping passenger numbers the same, EK may end up facing a situation come 2035 where they simply cannot acquire additional slots to replace A380s with 777-9s. The third runway definitely won’t be finished by then, so unless they move more flights to Gatwick and Stansted, which are less convenient for passengers heading into London and also make connecting itineraries more difficult for passengers transferring through Heathrow with less available seats on now smaller aircraft, they’ll either have to hold on to some A380s until possibly 2040, beg Airbus for the A380neo despite the tooling already being in the process of being scrapped by Airbus and their suppliers and engine technology not advancing far enough yet to warrant new engines, or try to convince Boeing that they’re a large enough customer that they should have a 777-10 developed for them that not many other airlines would want and that wouldn’t arrive until Heathrow’s third runway anyway!
All the flights are pretty well packed to capacity as far as I can tell. I’d be interested to know what other, more frequent flyers have to say though.
$3,000,000 to upgrade airport gates for the A380. Sure, Jan... airports the world over are eager to accommodate the A380. I mean, how much hype do you expect people to fucking swallow?
That’s why they’re looking to keep the A380 for the hub and spoke model between India and UK. a smaller plane will cut into that. I can see them keeping those A380s for as long as they can especially with India not granting them more slots to fly multiple 777 or 777x flights in the future. If Air India rises their standards and deliver on their new aircrafts they’ll benefit from newer modern fleet and the growing Indian middle and upper class who want to ride their own. It would be the race to see who can innovate more and deliver service. Tata group has the work cut out if they really want to stem the flow of Indians using Dubai hub and Emirates.

Gatwick has had the extended runway for a number of years now!

Congratulations for your flight mate! You're gonna love it. Wish I had gotten the chance to fly on an A380 as my first flight, but alas it was an A320
Mine was a 777 then an a380. You'll love it
You’re gonna love flying after this… until you experience a 737/320
I love the a380s!
Very informative video thanks
Just wondering, how many a380 airframes are required to do those 9 return flights to London?
Yeah, I’ve travelled on the A380, but it was from Mumbai to Dubai.
I have ride a380 but from another brand, from heathrow, and yes it's a pleasant ride, so spacious
Going on one soon from Glasgow. Bet that 380 at Gatwick with the bent nose gear cost a fortune to repair.
I usually take the emirates A380 from BHX

How many twinjets would they need to match that capacity

No surprise that India has the largest amount of connecting passengers.
would love to have A380 to be used at London Stansted.
England isn’t just London Birmingham also has an A380 and will return to double sail A380 next year.
Do those figures include people whose onward flight is with another airline which isn’t EK coded?
So what’s the actual load factor for this route?
