My dad for context was on A6-EPQ from MAA-DXB on EK543 and I guess unlike when I got A6-END, he had the white border IFE screen (and the same Voyager 3D maps that are found on the A380's I've flown on).

If you mean select EGx series, I can tell you EGP and likely EGR have them. My mom is on A6-EGH as we speak to TRV and I guess she has gotten the much older seats (with the old school remote, but still a reasonably good IFE). I remember this because in 2011 I flew A6-ECX and A6-EGB back when SFO was served with EK 777's before the advent of the A380 in late 2014.

I understand Indian routes can be unpredictable as to what 777's are rostered, but I'll be flying EK512/513 late March and into early April, and based on the history, it looks like commonly the EPx birds are deployed but also the ENx birds too.

Can you update the list with more clarity? I know EK is getting a lot of new planes in the coming years, but with the current ones (still good), it'd be helpful. Not just the 777's but also A380's.
Nowhere in your message do I see a THANKYOU to Murtaza12 for creating such an incredible and FREE resource. You sound extremely ungrateful.
