Timothy 1 Report post Posted March 21, 2012 EK didn't mention that some 777-300ER that replaces A380 does not have First Class (including Suite) they probably refund the fare difference. also not that big a loss traveling KUL - DXB since there's no special area for Suite passengers.

Suzanne Goh 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2012 Bon voyage Sue! Enjoy your shower. Skipped it. Was asleep and I booked for 2 hours before landing but decided to continue sleeping. Disappointed with the wifi service. Paid 15 usd for 30mb data but the thing was flaky throughout and collapsed halfway into the flight. Will be writing to EK shortly. Unfortunately will be taking the night flight out from KUL next Saturday....so won't be able to sample Biz Class on 380 Any idea how would the Biz Class be on 777-300 and 777-300ER? If you're going on 408/409 should be lie flats. 342/343 probably lie flats also. In J best on the A380. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suzanne Goh 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) saw their 777 at satellite terminal gate this morning. Around 0935 local time. Thought the second A380 run commenced already? That would be 408/409 (which is still a 77W) to/from MEL at that time (would be 409 inbound from MEL in this case) 342/343 comes in around 10pm, leaves 2am. 346 comes in around 2 or 3pm, leaves 730pm as 347.

Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted July 27, 2012 That must be the 77W from MEL. Flight EK 409 departs KUL at 1010 for DXB. This is getting interesting. Now EK is doing double daily A380 to KUL for the 3rd time: 25 - 29 June 2012 25 - 30 July 2012 1 - 7 September 2012 Waiting anticipatedly for flight EK 342/343 to be all A380 permanently.
