Is there still a seating difference between EKs old B777-300s and those which were aquired in the past 3-4 years ?
I was on A6-EMN last summer and the interior of the plane was in a tired condition (e.g. stained and wavily deformed carpets), so I presumed that a refurbishment would be taking place soon.

On A.net, I found those pics for comparison:

A6-EMM (del. 02/99) - same seats as on A6-EMN

A6-EMS (del. 07/02) - new design



I will be on a B777-300 (3-class config) from FRA-DXB in February and I pre-reserved seats 46J and 46K as we are two travelling together (hope the seat maps on emirates.com are accurate). Are those seats a good choice ? I hate being squished in a middle seat - last time on an EK flight from DAC to KUL, I spilled Sprite on my neighbours´pants because I could not move my arms properly
