First seating question

Hi Guys,
I hope you can help me. I am looking into booking a first return ex Gatwick to Hong Kong in October, does anyone know what type of seats will be in this plane? I would book it tomorow if i though it was going to be the new suites.
I realise there is a seating guide in the sticky i just find it quite hard to follow.
Thanks in advance for your understanding/patience.
Cheers
MickV

When I do a flight query, the website shows a combination of a 777-200 or 777-300 (not ER). Doesn't specifically say if Suites will be available. My hunch is no but the best bet would be to call your local EK ticket office and check.

Equipment changes are happening all the time and it may depend on whether or not you flight direct from DXB or via BKK.

Good luck. Let us know how you get on and whether or not you need more help.

I did DXB - BKK return last week, out bound was suites, return wasn't. Still good sleeping beds though.

EK16 and EK10 ex-LGW have Suites and EK 380 to HKG also has it but not on all days.

Check the Emirates timetable for the days you are flying and it will show you the aircraft for the day and route.

Here's the link: http://www.emirates.com/english/flyi...h_results.aspx

But note that EK switches their aircraft frequently, so don't count on the equipment too much.
