So is this A380 A test to see if they can fill it or is it for Heathrow delays

It’s a last minute upgrade for Heathrow passengers.

They would have been selling it as a 777 on the website for people booking from Birmingham

Don’t know if Heathrow have bhx A380 night slot?

Sorry?

Also, as its 3 class is it bringing some of the higher paying first class / platinum passengers back to the UK that would have ordinarily gone to Heathrow?

Just saying

 

[mullion]

It will be the inbound pax, very unlikely LHR to DXB unless they can make their own way to BHX

 

[RichL]

Just saying what sorry, I'm a little confused.

Heathrow has 6 flights a day, what do you mean Heathrow has BHX's night slot?

Believe heathrow has bhx 3rd daily slot basically

Ohhhhh I see.

With you now.

No. The third slot was cancelled some years ago. Slots usually depend on airports rather than airlines. It does not continue to exist in the ether. And it was a morning departure, if I remember correctly.

LHR passengers were connected to trains today after deboarding flight 37 today, passengers were transferred onto operator trains Avanti West Coast & London Northwestern railway for passengers to reach London.

 

[RichL]

Praise be that the trains weren't on strike or cancelled for signalling works or delayed for leaves on the track...

Would be interesting to know what aircraft is selling out better on EK A380 or B77W

 

[mullion]

I think that is totally irrelevant because the extra seats available would have gone to LHR pax to clear the backlog

Recently as numbers on ek have dropped

As a general thing the lunchtime flight has more connections than the evening or morning flights

The lunchtime flight is full during summer times, sometimes spring and autumn too. Pretty expected for pax count to drop in winter. Evening service isn’t as popular, 37 is good for returning connections but that about it. It’s the reason why emirates refused to make it a A380 service again

This seems to be an Emirates thing in expanding services in the UK:

start route: lunchtime service
add 2nd frequency: evening service
add 3rd frequency: morning service

(any 4th frequency would be shadowing the lunchtime service)


they seem to treat Glasgow & Edinburgh as single market with lunchtime at GLA and evening at EDI

Emirates signs MoUs with Tourism Boards at ATM

Emirates signed eight Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs) on the first day of Arabian Travel Market (ATM).

Strangely, I would prefer the evening departure as it means a 10:30 ish AM departure from DXB. The terminal always seems more welcoming during the day.

For the people in Birmingham, emirates buses will be showing up soon, this is an all over advert featuring an Airbus A380 tail and a crew member at the rear.
