One off chance to fly on the A380 between Birmingham and Dubai

Emirates have announced that to celebrate Birmingham airports 70th Anniversary they will use the A380 on one return service between Dubai and Birmingham.
The plane will operate on one of Emirates twice daily services between the two ports on the 9th September .

For those hoping to snare one of the limited seats the flight numbers to look for are either:

EK039 Dubai to Birmingham - Departing 08:05am; Arriving 12:35pm
or
EK040 Birmingham to Dubai - Departing 03:05pm; Arriving 01:05pm(+1 day)

Tickets are sure to sell out fast so many people many be reduced to simply watching the super-jumbo land and take-off from the airport.

... however don't get too used to the sight. At present there are no plans to make Birmingham a regular A380 port, that privilege is presently reserved for London Heathrow. It may take a centenary celebration before the airport see another A380 commercial flight (although hopefully not)!!!
