No such issue on the A380 - there is a galley in between with separate curtains for J and F.

3. There are 14 F suites on the A380 and a lot of the times they are not fully occupied. So better service, and typically never run out of meal choices.

5. Overall the A380 is a quieter plane and due to its size less affected by turbulence, so overall a better flying experience irrespective of the class of seating. So that's another reason to choose the A380 over the 777.
It’s funny just how different people are, as I prefer 777 F! (Game changer first obviously, but even old 777 F over the A380)
- 14 suites is too many for an F product. If you’re flying on a second tier route then you might get a nice quiet cabin, but to LHR (or Australia or US) you might also get all 14 seats taken. Service can then be slow and it doesn’t feel exclusive enough. I was denied my choice of main course because it had run out by a couple of hours into the flight on a DXB-LHR a couple of months ago
- Row 2 on the 777 is my favourite F seat! I’ve never had anyone from J walk past knowingly and I love how cosy and private it feels. In contrast every F seat on the A380 feels exposed to multiple other seats when the doors are open
- The A380 is actually
too quiet for me on overnight flights and I hate when trying to sleep hearing up to 13 other people doing dine on demand. The 777 background noise helps to drown out cabin noises
I suppose this merely proves how good EK F is generally that we’re reduced to this nitpicking
