Can anybody tell me which first class product is available on the following sectors (they are all on the 777-300ER according to the website) but am confused as to which ones have suites or type of seating!
11/7 EK16 LGW - DXB
12/7 EK770 DXB - CPT
17/7 EK771 CPT - DXB
18/7 EK3 DXB - LHR
Also is it best to have the bulkhead row or the 2nd row of seats (I'd like the window if I can get it!)
Thanks in advance
Just came back from Zurich yesterday using both B777 300 and 300ER and believe me the suites in the ER are brilliant. I may be misguided as normally I don't get to the pointy end usually but you have loads of privacy they are very comfortable. Our flight was a day flight so didn't need to use the bed mode so will not comment. Found the 300 OK but would have been very disappointed if I had paid the full 1st class fare and that was what I got.
It is quite difficult to get out from the window if the other seat is in bed mode (especially if your gut is like mine and not as small as it could be) but the seat was comfortable enough either sitting on lying so it should be fun enough.
Go and enjoy the experience of 1st class it sure as hell beats up the back!!
