Well, EK is excellent, even on economy. Two years ago I flew AMS-DXB-JNB and back, the first leg on a 380 and the second on a 77W. The 380 is slightly more comfortable.
Next Saturday I'll fly EK again, AMS-DXB-CPT. In the A380 I again have booked seats in the front and on the 77W in the rear as there are only two seats between window and aisle.
