I was just thinking that with all of the changes to British Airways' Middle Eastern operations would it be viable for the airline to get rid of the current two night flights to Dubai that depart within 1 hour of each other and replace it with one A380 night rotation? So instead of being 1 daily 747 and 2 daily 777 it could be 1 daily 747/777 and 1 daily A380, even if it's just in the peak season. It could also free up some 777 aircraft that could be utilized better elsewhere. Here is an example schedule:

LHR 13:10 - 23:15 DXB 744/777 x7
DXB 01:35 - 06:15 LHR 744/777 x7
LHR 21:25 - 07:25 DXB 388 x7
DXB 09:20 - 14:05 LHR 388 x7
