With reference to STN; I would imagine it is the next logical step for EK expansion in the UK.

I am with SOE here, there is no logic in expanding to Stansted at all. LHR/LGW adequately covers the region and if they were to expand I think it is more likely at these exisiting airports and their regional departures.

Oops!
Interesting Go-around at Glasgow by the Emirates 777. The crew forgot to raise the gear for quite a while. Perhaps they were over-excited by the fierce Scottish weather!

BHX
NorthernCounties
If you are flying from BHX in June you are far from guaranteed the two-class
high-density 77W.
June is the low season and BHX sees capacity cuts with the 354/360/364
three class versions and occasionally even 772's.
In fact end of January through to the end of April is usually a good time for
EK at BHX but only today another three class turned up on EK39.

The upgrade is from the A345 according to this but GDS shows the A343 in
the system in November. Is this a typo or just to do with the A343's leaving the fleet and the A345 taking over for a short period?

Cheers OltonPete, the reason I asked was to checkout where I should aim to get a seat, don't want to get stuck in an awful location for 7 hours! I guess I shall have to wait and find out! Looking forward to flying with them on any aircraft though!

Anyone know anything further about the Dublin route? Some people on the Dublin thread saying its going to 777 from 1st June, some 1st July. Just wondering if anyone knows anything definite? Its also showing A340 on the online booking interface for some flights around November!

I don't know about the 777, but on my airline's A320 fleet the SOP (one of the memory items, in fact) is not to touch the configuration until we have confirmed we are out of the shear. It's possible they had one in those conditions and left the gear deliberately.

Cant think Emirates would start up at EDI just yet having just announced upgrade for NCL to a 777 300ER.
Have they not also announced an increase for the GLA service recently to twice daily ??
