Planning on flying on Emirates Oct 2023 and would really like to fly the new cabin. The plan is flying BRU-DXB-USA. It now seems like the new cabin is on both rotations out of BRU. But 181/182 has always had the new cabin it seems from looking at this thread. Is it (somewhat) safe to assume that if I book 182, it should (in theory) be the new cabin even this far out?
Also, is there any downside to service for a redeye departing after 9:30PM? Any watered down catering? The menu on the website for 182 departing in the next few weeks shows a Breakfast (served first? weirdly) and a Dinner with caviar but it departs 8:20PM as opposed to 9:45PM Oct 2023. TIA!
