Dubai to Brisbane uses a A380 doesn't it?
Last year was Untied to Newark from Newcastle, Spent 4 days in New York then another 757 to Orlando then its a Hour drive down Interstate 4 to Tampa -
Which is where some of my family live.

This year will be direct to Orlando, On the 8th April using Thompsons 787 then the usual 1 hour drive down Interstate 4 to Tampa.

Yup. I was downstairs
It would probably be easier to go from Gatwick  
You can go Newark to Tampa with United.
I do hope United do it year-round mind
