Returned on the A380 DXB - MAN on Saturday business class, I counted 3 empty seats, I also counted the first class getting off and think it was 7 or 8 so thats only 4 empty seats in first (no they didnt look like EK staff on an upgrade they all looked like businessmen). Downstairs is anyones guess but judging by the baggage hall I would say it was packed.
Great flight and and very quick processing, from touchdown to sitting in my car on the M56 it took 30 mins exactly, well done EK, MAN and MAG !!
