Best Time to see the A380 at YSSY

[Scott Thorpe]

Hi All,

I'm bringing my young nephew up to Sydney to see the mighty A380 on Saturday the 14th. I'm hoping someone may be able to assist with what would be the best time to see 1 or more in action?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards

I think there is two leaving within 15 minutes of each other at about 8am. SIA and EK, the QF ones leave later in the day

Here is the schedule for all A380 movements through YSSY.

Emirates
EK412 DXB-SYD arr 0605 DAILY
EK412 SYD-AKL dep 0750 DAILY
EK413 AKL-SYD arr 1925 DAILY
EK413 SYD-DXB dep 2110 DAILY

Singapore Airlines
SQ221 SIN-SYD arr 0605 DAILY
SQ220 SYD-SIN dep 0805 DAILY

Qantas
QF12 LAX-SYD arr 0630 DAILY ex Mon
QF11 SYD-LAX dep 1305 DAILY ex Sat
QF32 SIN-SYD arr 1915 DAILY ex Sat,Sun
QF31 SYD-SIN dep 1615 DAILY ex Sun,Mon

So for Saturdays the best time to go would be between 0605 & 0630 when you would get an EK,SQ and a QF A380 arrive and also between 0750 & 0805 when you would get an SQ and an EK A380, both departing.
