Thanks for the link David. It'll teach me to read the article in full before posting in future. I think you're right; it probably does imply that Bangkok is still the most popular final destination.

However, one other paragraph caught my eye:

"The deployment of the A380 on the EK019/EK020 service is currently only scheduled until the end of the winter schedule on March 28, 2015 but could be extended into summer 2015".

Is Richard Maslen just being cautious based on what is loaded for booking, or have EK not finally decided yet whether the A380 will continue beyond March on the evening service? It's strange because the tone of the quotes from Ken O'Toole (MAG) and Laurie Berryman (EK) yesterday did seem to convey that it was permanent.
