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.

Thanks m3red - I was thinking the same. I'm not a window watcher anyway so think I will stick with 7A/B

According to Seatguru this seat is above the wing. I cannot see whether it has a window, but due to the spacious nature of F or J you'll have access to a window anyway, to look at the sky. Due to the wing you cannot look downward, only via the camera mounted on the belly which can be viewed with the IFE.

You may be thinking of 7A in the B777 as this is missing a window. You have to lean well forward to see out the other one. You should be able to see the A380 seat 7A here, complete with plenty of windows.

It has two windows.
As you are above the beginning of the wing, the view is not really blocked by the wing.
Note that 7A is next to FCL lav. It is not used often, but, you may have many JCL pax trying to get there (by ignorance).
7K will be better if you have the choice.

I've found on recent flights they lock it to stop j pax using it.

If you want to chat with the crew, it's very convenient though.
