My heart dropped a beat cuz I really hope it isn't the older generations of entertainment system hahaha.
Many thanks to you "thijsseh"!
What is your flight number? Direct HKG-DXB or the service via BKK?
I can try to look uo (Flightradar24) what frames are 'usually' employed. For instance, the current EK383 is flown by A6-EPA which is a 4 class refurbished 77W with 3rd generation IFE. From a quick look, it appears that EK381 is operated by a refurbished A380, again with 33rd generation IFE. So if you are on a direct flight you are probably 'in luck'.
And also: Welcome to FlyerTalk and in particular the Emirates subforum. I hope you will get good input / advice here and also that you will feed back to the rest of the community!
