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 ....

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.
