Are we likely to see any 748's or 380's on these routes ? Long way off I know, if we do get em...

[James S.]

Maybe the odd 747-8i as an equipment sub at best I'd say.

Changes for Korean Air KE 121/122:

Next week is a mixed bag:

Monday (19th), Tuesday (20th), Wednesday (21st) is 777-200ER and the rest are 747-400.
