In "services by flight", the B777-300ERs used for EK409 and EK408 both have the old "sleeperette" style seats. Are they likely to have the new lie-flat business class seating by the time I fly?
The 3-class B777-300ERs operating EK408/409 are unlikely to be refurbished during your travel dates. It is my understanding that the majority of the 3-class B77W sub-fleet with deep reclining seats in J will be refurbished in 2011. At the moment the sub-fleets receiving priority for refurbishment are the B777-200ER (three-class), B777-200ER (two-class) and B777-300ER (three-class featuring SkyCruiser and lie-flats). The latter will see SkyCruisers being removed in favour of the Suites in F.
