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.

You can see for yourself on my trip report: I was on 777-300 A6-EMT and A6-EMW.

Something doesn't seem right.
So long as it is a 777-300 (ER/ non-ER), you are guaranteed to get the lie-flats in J. If they put the 300 instead of 300ER, then you'll get the skycruisers i/o of suites in F.
Looking at the history of a/c servicing this flight for the past month or so, seems to be mainly operated by 300ER, except on 2/3 days when operated by a 300.

Hi there jtmath, welcome to flyertalk
Can't really comment on your selected seats as I'm not personally familiar with those sections of the aircraft, but others will no doubt be able to advise.
Meanwhile if you haven't already done so, you might want to check out the views offered on the seat guru website - which is far from perfect, but does provide some useful info. Have a look here ....
http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Emi...nformation.php
As for your "not too much pax, maybe upgrade....." remark : if it IS the case that these flights have light loads on the day, then there would be little reason for Emirates to offer upgrades to anyone ; it's actually the complete opposite situation (ie very heavy flights) where this becomes a possibility. But I wouldn't build up your hopes about that anyway, because the chances of being upgraded as a blue member are, in reality, very low indeed.

What's the best J seat for a single traveller on a 3-class 777? I selected row 11 but am worried that there would be a bit of noise from the Y cabin? Otherwise, row 7 is available, but that has no window and since this is a day flight that would be nice to have. Cabin looks pretty empty - making it harder to choose.
