EK413 CHC-SYD - refurbed A380s?

[Springthing]

Am booked in F class on this route in a few weeks.

Does EK ever put their recently refurbished A380s on their EK412/EK413 (DXB-SYD-CHC-SYD-DXB) routes? Obviously, it's always going to be luck of the draw anyway. But are any of the refurbished aircraft being used in/out of anywhere in AU?

You might want to check if premium economy is for sale on your flight? I’m not 100% sure but would that indicate if it’s refurbished?

Great tip, thanks. Didnt think to check the PY config.

Sorry to resurface an old thread, but rather than creating a new one for this route:

A mate (fellow avgeek) of mine really wants to try EK J, and the only way this will happen is a cash booking.

I've zeroed in on the SYD-CHC 5th freedom, usually going for approx 2k AUD.

Does it ever get lower or is this the best possible?

If they're at least silver, I'd suggest your mate goes to Qantas Wine and buys four cases of wine. That should generate the 78,400 points needed for an F award for about the same price as a cash fare (and is far more fun than J). Enjoy the SYD Flounge. Enjoy the Dom. Enjoy the shower. Enjoy the caviar.
