I struggle to understand why EK has no plans to refurbish any of its 777s J class to a 1-2-1 offering, which imo is the minimum benchmark for acceptable J class these days.
I agree - direct aisle access is indeed becoming the standard. Despite lacking this feature, I think that the Emirates long haul 777 J is still somewhat competitive because the flat bed itself is quite comfortable.
