    EK has not communicated any embargoes on its A380 service and I wouldn't expect any if they haven't advised yet (these would be published in Sabre TVL STARs).

    <blockquote>STAR TVLEK
    0S ZED TRAVEL CONDITIONS - AA AND EK
    71NG EMBARGOES
    72NG --------------
    73NG . * NONE APPLY
    74NG . </blockquote>

    ZED agreement requires that the airline provide a minimum 30 days notice of any embargoes. It also states that embargoes may only be placed on ZED travel if the same embargo applies to that airline&#39;s own staff.

    Are they operating revenue flights during this tour, or strictly familiarization flights? Some airlines let you nonrev on ferry flights, EK???

    It is not a tour.
    They will be operating the 380 on the JFK-DXB route.
    I heard that LH is going to fly a 380 into MIA also.

    I&#39;m sorry, I should have elaborated. They are starting JFK-DXB, I&#39;d assume daily. I forget the dates, but I read something about them flying to LAX and maybe somewhere else for familiarization. Just once, in preparation for future service. I was wondering if they were going straight from JFK-LAX, or heading back to DXB first. If they&#39;re going straight JFK-LAX, I would think they couldn&#39;t carry pax.

    So I was wondering if EK would allow OA nonrevs(ME) on a ferry flight.

    The schedule is limited at first but it will go to daily later on.
    I believe it is in October.
