awesome! I just wish JFK would resolve the issue that prevents them from landing 31R!

Crazy. Anyone know how full these flights are? I wonder if it's a question of needing extra capacity or simply needing to do something with all the A380s they're getting.

When I flew on EK 380, both KJFK-OMDB & OMDB-KJFK sectors were completely full. The morning flight is since 1-2 years and probably already showing healthy load factors to justify the upgrade.
