I know this is the Qantas frequent flyer section and this applies to me According to an article on ausbt:
Emirates cuts two Airbus A380 flights to Sydney, Melbourne

Emirates is cutting back on A380's on several routes and cancelling some flights on 777's

Now this affects a Qantas award booking I have for match 18th 2019 on EK425 which is a Monday on the 777

According to the blurb
"
Emirates flights: Perth-Dubai
Emirates currently has two daily flights between Perth and Dubai, but this will be dropped to 11 flights per week from November 7 to November 30 2018, and February 5 to April 15 2019.

The affected flights are EK424/EK425 – between those dates listed above, EK424 will run only on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

There's no change to the daily Airbus A380 service of EK420/EK421. "


Now I'm not sure what I should do as being a lowly bronze member I can't see a lot of availability in premium classes and we have a connecting flight from Dubai to singapore.

Any idea what my options are brain trust?

A little edit:
I think my flights might be OK As someone pointed out on ausbt seeing as my flight is the return of the Sunday night ek424 my flight night hopefully be on in the Monday morning. Bit of a shame we're going to lose the A380 on our Dubai to Singapore & Singapore to Melbourne flights after though.

No doubt QF’s extra capacity on MEL-SIN has effected EK 404/5. Shame, I liked EK405 in particular on A380, not a fan of doing the flight on 777, with the shoulder crunching configuration.
