[list=1][*]I've been on the 777-300 before, but does anyone know if these will have (or are likely to have) ICE by the end of the year?
If you had asked a few months ago, I probably would have said yes.
EK was scheduled to refurbish a 777-300 every 2 months, starting from a while ago. However, routes that were scheduled to have 777 w/ the new configuration and ICE (according to the schedule), no longer seem to have that configuration. It is still possible, but I would say, unlikely.

The seat pitch is ok, but the seats are very narrow, and the recline is quite poor. (VERY poor for the footrest)
