Emirates Seating Guide
A380
First:
777
First:
A380
First:
- Solo travelers: some say row 4 is loud from the galley behind, while row 1 may be a bit more cramped than other rows. Most suggest rows 2 or 3, seats A or K.
- Couple: E/F seats in rows 1-3 are all fairly similar.
- General: the mini cabin at the back has a more secluded feel, though some comment that there is noise from the bar beyond row 23.
- Solo travelers: most prefer seats A and K (solo seats on sides with windows).
- Couple: aim for seats E/F to be closer together.
- General comments: upgrade if at all possible!
777
First:
- Solo travelers: Row 1, especially 1a and 1k, is the worst because of galley and lavatory right in front. Noisy and high traffic. Not much difference between row 1 and 2 in terms of space on the 77w for k or a seats.
- Couple: there is not really any difference between row 1 and 2 for e and f seats except 1 is near the galley and 2 is near row 6 in j where there may be children
- General: There is limited direct aisle access as the configuration is 2-3-2. The rear J cabin will have Y pax move through on boarding.
- Solo travelers:
- Couple: 7 j and k are great if you don't mind the missing window. It's in the private mini cabin - a great choice unless you like window gazing. You also don't get y traffic passing through this cabin as you turn left on entry!
- General comments: Y on the 777 is for slim people.

I like the 777 row 6 because you're right behind F with minimal disturbance. I wouldn't pick row 6 on 332 where it's the only row with galley behind.
With 380 I'd rather be right in front where there's minimum traffic and least disturbance. When I want some revelry all it takes is a 15 second walk to the bar. The problem is always making ones way back

Yes, I took an overnight flight and slept ok in this seat. I dont know why Seat expert thinks this is a bad seat as you have lots of extra room with the transition from 3 to 2 seats.
I normally go for an exit row seat on a day flight, but i've found this seat better for sleeping as you have a wall to lean on and you don't get people trampling your feet.
46B/J on the other hand do have issues with tray/monitor misalignment, so i would avoid these.

I just flew JFK-DXB on a 777-300ER (with suites) in Y.
46A/B/J/K had extra legroom (noticeable, I'd say 2-3").
46B/J had a slightly misaligned TV so you are leaning into your neighbour to see your own TV.
I sat in 46J but 50J/K were empty (and didn't even show on the seatmap when booking seats) so I moved there. At 46K you can easily lean on the window and still store things on the side. By 50K this is impossible. I ended up using my laptop case as a 'base' against the window and piling pillows on top of it to sleep. Without the base, the pillows would just fall down the side and it's really awkward to try and sleep. Also, 50J/K are RIGHT next to the washroom (literally, RIGHT next to). I didn't mind though and they are very private. From 50K you can only really see your neighbour in 50J.

If you can't get an A/K seat then i'd try and go for an exit row if I were you.

Are any of the A380 first class seats blocked? Booked a HKG-BKK flight next week and wanted to get 2 seats in the middle but only window seats are available to be selected.

I have an question about my flight with Emirates
it's already booked and I want to cancel it, because my girlfriend is pregnant , and we can't go on a holiday then (it's a flight from Amsterdam to Manila). Is it possible I change the flight to one year later?
Because on manage my booking, I can't change anything but I already moved the departed date once, could that also be the reason why I can't change it now? Maybe there is a possibility for an open ticket?
And if it's not possible, and I cancel my flight, do I get any money back or lost it all?

As to how far out you can move the dates - this depends on all manner of ticketing and fare conditions... we'd need to know the fare basis code and when you purchased to have even a chance of getting that one right!
EK are one of the more flexible airlines (with their fare conditions) out there, I find.
