So what is the E and X stands for. Is there more variants. SAS380

AFAIK the 'E' and 'X' tags are sometimes incorrectly used to refer to A330/A340s that have been produced after Airbus gave the cockpit instrumentation a workover. However, those are not official designations.

The 'X' is used by Airbus to refer to a variant of the A330 (maybe also the A340?) with increased takeoff weight.

My A380 flights:
Singapore Airlines - 9V-SKT (MSN092); NRT-SIN, SIN-NRT
Singapore Airlines - 9V-SKN (MSN071); NRT-LAX
Singapore Airlines - 9V-SKG (MSN019); LAX-NRT
