Flying Emirates via Dubai to BKK on the 20th of Feb gets me two A380 flights.
Shanghai to Man on the evening of the 26th is another two A380 flights.
Looked at SQ but that was a Q800 to Düsseldorf before flying via Singapore to BKK. Q800 not quite on my tick list.
Looked At SQ to fly BKK to Shanghai, but that’s flying 3 hours the wrong way, but could fly the 777-300ER if I can swing that.
Quickest is Cathy via HK but their business class is supposed to be pants.

Where did you hear that CX J is "pants"? It's one of the best products around, and would probably rank above EK J most of the time, especially on the high density A380s (not sure which fly the MAN, BKK and PVG routes).

Emirates business class flying was awesome. They really do look after you.
I was hoping for a new plane on the first leg and got MSN 009, not the you could tell from the inside.
Dubai to Bangkok was MSN 229 so flew with Our T900 ‘s that I make parts for.
Flying the A380 is the best flights I have ever been on. Top Top aircraft.
