EK uses all types of planes on the LHR-DXB route except for the A340, including the old 46" pitch 777s.
Somehow (it's beyond me) they still manage to succesfully operate 5 x daily flights into Heathrow, and it is impossible to get seats in Business Class during peak times unless you book in advance. They must be doing
something right
