Brisbane
777 is welcome to Adelaide, direct Brisbane is upgrading to the flagship A380 in the near future. The extra seats will be welcome to all those staff who struggle with seat availability on this busy route.

380 to BNE
Source?
Other than the Townsville refueller...?
Announcement of Melbourne and start of route is something like one year lead time, so I wouldn't get too excited until they give a date... would be nice though, I quite like BNE

EK can't fly to Mexico City it requires skill, dexterity and inevitably one must disconnect the autopilot due to frequent ATC changes. If you've ever seen what a typing pool looks like in the mid 70s this would be similar to the average EK pilot attempting to "fly" into MEX.

TCMT, if you need to disconnect the autopilot to deal with ATC instructions, you are probably not working with a high enough skill level. You need to get ahead of the aircraft, not behind it.
Some people disconnect the autopilot just to land manually, not to get themselves out of a self-imposed tight corner.

I can confidently predict however Goretex that after spending 4 years shuttling various Moscowvites between Vunukovo, Sheremetevo, UUDD and all points on the compass, 3-4 times a week in our wonderful Falcon, I have a fairly good idea of how Moscow and Russia works.
Sure you guys have been going there in the 4 holer bus, but like I say, I can't wait to read the ASR's

Anyone know when the 380 taking over Brisbane direct, lots of talk about it at the moment. Must be an announcement imminent, be great to have the more seats and comfort from the big bus.

Pretty sad on your behalf if you are keen for incidents to occur.
And FWIW, I'm not in the least bit concerned about our guys/girls, its ATC and the other operators that will cause the issues.

was left seat 777 and joined EK right seat 330 last century, flew all the widebody boeings and buses but dont miss the boeing.
if you want to read ASR's read the ones when the boeing took over ADD from the bus, we are still laughing

Please put the 380 on the Brisbane sector, impossible to get seats on the payload restricted crippler and today departed with 22 spare seats!!! 
Make over a million more revenue, carry 150 more pax in greater comfort and keep everyone happy.

They need more seats on the late night India flights first shaggs... Heard the authorities won't let the dugong fly there yet because they are worried about the wings falling off...
