I do not understand this quote:
By year-end, passengers will be able to circle the globe in a multitude of ways aboard the world’s largest airliner.
I do not get it. When and how is there supposed to be even one way to circle the globe aboard A380 :confused:
On 24th of October this year, A380s shall first meet because Qantas shall start service between Sydney and Los Angeles, and Singapore already serves Sydney.
If and when Emirates starts London service (when do they get their third frame?), it shall be possible to fly between New York and Los Angeles, by the roundabout way of flying NY-Dubai-London-Singapore-Sydney-Los Angeles.
But no way to circle the globe.
Are there any official plans to cross New World by A380, either transatlantic to west coast or transpacific to east coast?

I have found a way which would rely on two new routes being put in place.
SYD – SIN (Singapore Airlines)
SIN – LHR (Singapore Airlines)
LHR – DXB (Emirates)
DXB – JFK (Emirates)
JFK – LAX – SYD (Qantas QF108 currently a 747 flight)
