One would hope this means there is room for some of the swimmers now, if they go ahead with all aeroplane retirements it'll be interesting to see how they cope with even more routes!

I really hope we do, but so far there is no way of doing that as a Direct flight, it has to be done with a stop on Europe or USA.
We have more than 20million people in Mexico City, i am sure it would be a good market.
Take care

The 200LR could do MEX direct. I think it's about 7800nm? Around 500nm more than LAX but probably with a bit more wind due to the direct route being more southerly. Still, well within range. Maybe the problem is just that there are only 10 A/C? I expect to see it added to the network sooner rather than later.

I think that is the big problem, taking off from Mexico city at 7300ft with 25-30oC on a Difect flight to Dubai, I dont think so, but I have heard some rumors about the possibility of a stop on Spain. That would be great.

Hmmm, drive up into the hills, some nice restaurants, do a Barossa Valley tour, day trip to Hahndorf, boating/fishing in Glenelg... I can think of worse places to be!!! Some people just have no imagination, sometimes you got to find the fun, it doesn't come to you...

. After all, the classic Bus flew there for a very long time before the 777 ventured that way (at least the EK ones anyway). It's really no big-deal. The de/anti-icing is as reliable as you'll get anywhere and there are fleets of snow-ploughs when needed
Blue side up amigo
Found this.
What Emirates is up to is really serious for Qantas. Emirates is aviation’s largest food chain in operation. It has the world’s largest fleets of A380s and 777s, both in service and on order, and the world’s second largest order for A350s.
The A380s are now swallowing the 777s to cope with its growth on the busiest routes, with the big Airbus replacing the not exactly small 777s on services to Paris, which is going daily double with A380s, as it is reported will New York City, with the biggest airliner in service also replacing a 777 frequency from Dubai to Moscow and apparently to be announced as replacing the Boeing on flights to San Francisco as a result of evolving range and payload improvements.
There will be Emirates A380s daily through Melbourne by the end of year, fulfilling another part of its long standing promise to cater for Australian growth with A380s on just about every route or existing frequency by the end of the decade, although it also has the hots for a new larger version of the 777, the –X, which has been a Boeing teaser act for the last year, and which might be given additional substance at next week’s Farnborough Air Show.
And those 777s swallowed up by the A380s are being… redeployed, to open flights to Lyon, Emirates third port on France, it is launching Warsaw with museum fleet A330s awaiting A350 replacement, it has just launched Barcelona in addition to Madrid, and other 777s will find a new life opening the Adelaide market and dominating the resource capital Perth’s international flights, where Qantas can’t even manage non-stop flights to China never mind the Middle East.

Once Adelaide goes daily will it remain a 2 day layover??
based on the schedule the layover time would be something like 24hrs and 30 mins... hardly enough to operate a 13hr night flight back to dxb.
It would be a shorter layover than even JFK which is already criminal...
