Plenty of notice here - nearly a year!

Is this normal?

EK414 being a 345, does this mean EK412 goes to the 380?

Wow, only a 25 minute window period between arrival and curfew. Judging by the punctuality of their 8 daily flights in and out of Sydney past our house at the moment that shouldn't be too much of a problem. But I predict a diversion or 2.

A 6am SYD departure for EK415? I don't think I've seen an international departure this early in SYD before. Usually the first international flight is the AKL flights at 7am.
