Weren't Emirates looking at upgrading the morning DXB flight from a 772 to a 77W sometime soon. I wonder if they will consider using the A380 on one of the flights to make up for the capacity to the middle east lost by the QR pullout.
It did used to be and often still is a B773 or B77W. There are no A380 stands anywhere near the terminal buildings, I believe the A380 stands are the 230s, the new remote stands beyond Hangar 7.
