Hi SULAX50, I've been flying from LHR to BLR via DXB in last October and back in November in J class.

The EK008 flight was at the time flown by a B777-300 not refurbished ... My colleague flew on this one and wasn't so much impressed ...

I personally flew on EK006 which was on a B777-300ER, still no lie-flat seats but ICE.

For the second leg I was on EK516 on a A330-200. Definitely not refurbished, no ICE but I've managed to get upgraded to First without asking ...

I take it that EK518 is on B777-200 ? In which case you would have ICE but most probably old cradle seats ...

I'm sure you will enjoy your flights, in-flight service is top notch.

Let us know how it went.
