Once the second Airbus A380 comes in, it will be put into service from February 16, 2018, onwards. It will take on the following routes, albeit thrice a week.

Hong Kong is also set to get the new aircraft next month and will have a similar shuffling of schedules later in the year.

The good news is, there seems to be some award space available on these new routes as of now, which can be waitlisted. Too bad, I did not have enough miles in my KF account to be able to grab one of these, so they are all yours for the moment!
