Hi
Can anybody tell me whether the Emirates A380 on the LGW to BKK route will all have the updates Business Class cabin by July 2024?

NB.
I know it's a cheek to ask here.
I do have a PPL from years ago:)
- but just planning a business/vavaction trip ...
Cheers

I can't imagine anyone will be able to answer that, not even from Emirates. The frame used for a particular route gets decided on the day.

Thanks for the reply. I take your point. :-)

I was under the impression that Emirates had planned to update their whole A380 fleet by "mid 2024" and wondered whether this was still on track to complete by July?
Had they only partially compleetd the program, my follow up querstion would have been how to tell whether the flight I ws booking was updated or not?
Academic now really as I committed and booked yesterday :-)

Thanks again :-)

EK don't fly LGW-BKK direct so you will be on 2 separate aircraft.

The business class on the A380 hasn’t really changed much. The seats are the same, it’s just a refresh.

The later A380s also have a different bar layout, but I don’t think these are being retrofitted to the existing fleet.

Ah ok -

I thought the "old" product was superb anyway - so all good!

Thanks for the reply :)

If you can book premium economy for that flight then it’s the new interior 👍

That new premium economy cabin looks amazing doesn't it!?
For a shorter trip - I'd certainly give it a go.
