On Friday December 1st, Emirates launched its refurbished cabins onboard its B777 aircraft. One of the first destinations to get the newly designed B777 aircraft is Brussels. For the occasion, Emirates held a media event, which I attended. Unfortunately, my schedule did not allow me to travel on the plane itself, but I was offered a tour of the aircraft and I made a Youtube clip with my impressions, which you can watch below.
Unfortunately, Emirates still sticks to the 2-3-2 layout in the new Business Class (although the seats look sleek and they go fully flat). Not sure what to make of that. In contrast, the new First Class suites are phenomenal (although they still have that bling-bling look that I am not a fan of). I was awestruck by the two suites in the middle aisle, which both feature 3 virtual windows (with the views from outside the aircraft projected via technology).
