It overnighted on Bay 5, but will be towed to Bay 57 shortly for loading.
It's due to depart for Dubai at 1130 as EK413D.

Qantas A380 in Business, unfortunatly in my opinion, cannot be compared with the likes of Emirates. It simply lacks of privacy. Although Qantas is and will always remain the favourite of Australian Corporate, I certainly won't put my money on their inflight product offering when travelling on personal expense
Has Sam Chui EVER had anything positive to say about Qantas?

Sorry. in my opinion (if I still have the freedom to express my views here and allowed to) Qantas A380 does not match EK or SQ's. Period.

didn't know there was a policy of not being able to state your view, personally, I agree with Sam. For QF to not even redesign J class seat for the A380 is beyond ridiculous.

the two are miles apart.

Mick,

I agree with Sam over here, he has great views on airlines and pretty great experience from his point of view. I always take Sam's Advice and totally agree with him.

QF is nothing compared to EK or SQ.... QF are like the underdog that will never be top dog haha

I highly respect Sam's Views. Period!!!

Thanks Sarmad

Talking about EK A380, this morning I found out that I am flyi to Doha Qatar for a job interview... I leave tomorrow on EK413 (A380). What is, for those who went to AKL on the inaugral flight, the best Y seats? Front 43 or rear 88??

Take a look at seatmap

Row 68 AK
81 AK are the best.

I was on seat 46a and was too far forward to get good wing views....blake was in 50a and was better but still not good views.....tim was in 56a (or close) and he probably got the best wing views out of us all. All depends on what iew you are after.
