I believe this A6-EME.

Another A345 has been stored; A6-ERA.

Not even on the ERs? I'm planning CTP to LGW via DXB, and it shows as a 777-300 ER which the emirates website describes as having "deeply reclining" seats, and seatguru describes as "angled lie flat".

I'll be rather disappointed if they're sleeperettes.

The sleeperettes were only ever on Airbus planes and are still there on several.

Deepy reclining in J were found on various B777, but all -300 models now offer the angled lie flat seats. I think there's only one or two 2 class -200s still with deeply reclining seats.

How many 777's have the new business class (that is similar to or identical to the A380)? I saw one on Ultimate Airport Dubai and had no idea that some were even outfitted.

The A380s have seats in business class that become fully flat, where as the ones on the 777s are not fully flat (at a slight angle). So to answer your question, None.

Apologies if already discussed : do all 77W's have Suites in F ? EK page still shows a 12F config for some of those planes.

Thanks & regards,

There are a few 773's with 12F all 3 class 77W's have suites.

OK, so it's enough to choose a 77W with F and Suites are guaranteed.
Thanks for confirming, I like 77W Suites for the high walls and equally dislike the 12F seats :)

problem is you can't gurantee they won't swap....

On most routes you'd be unlucky but for shoter hops you sometimes play roulette.

Aircraft Code 38R in Expertflyer
 

My Emirates flight from Dubai to Hong King in F in February is showing as Aircraft type 38R.

As the Fleet guide only details 38L or 38M is 38R just a mistake on Expertflyer or some newer version of the A380?

R = Refurbished :D

Expertflyer just passes on whatever EK places, so if there's a mistake it's EK's. I have confirmed the presence of the 38R code in GDSs; for example, it's the seat map for EK382 on 15FEB DXB-HKG.

Maybe someone can explain what's the new config code for.

All A380s from roughly A6-EEU onwards have a new seating configuration in Y, with 2 extra seats at 80A and 80K.

On the date mentioned, the seat map for EK382 shows these seats, whereas the seat map for EK380 does not.

I suspect the new codes (there should be one for both LH and ULH) differentiate between these.

Actually EK have 4 diferent A380 cabin layout:

ULH Fleet:

F14 C76 Y399 and F14 C76 Y401

LH Fleet:

F14 C76 Y427 and F14 C76 Y429

Soon they will have one more cabin layout when they get the A380 with C + Y only.

I think you mean 429. :)

Right.....:-) Just changed now.....

Did they manage to reset it? If not, drop a note into EK/Skywards, you may receive a token amount of miles as compensation.

Haha, those exact screens in those seats on ENF broke on me almost a year ago now so nothing has changed by the looks of it!!!

:p

Engineering might not care, but Customer Affairs may throw you something to make you feel better :) I found it took a week or so to reply.

If only they were redeemable for upgrades :D

seat configuration list for a380
 

According to the Emirates timetable there are 5 different seat configs for the A380s.

Is there a list by aircraft registration which aircraft has which config.?
According to the timetable Seat config 3 & seat config 4 are both F14J76Y427 and have F 1-4 seats nos; J 6-26 seat nos and Y 41-88 so cannot see the difference?

I'm not sure about 5 configs unless some 2 class routes are showing, although the planes have not been delivered yet.

The 4 configs I'm aware of are 2 each of Long Range and Ultra Long Range, as outlined in post #1 of this thread. Rows 41 and 42 and the centre section of 85 to 88 are missing from the Ultra Long Range version.

The other difference is that on the newer planes (A6-EEU on I think), Economy Class has 2 extra seats at Row 80 A and K.

I hope, this can help you:


"Actually EK have 4 diferent A380 cabin layout:

ULH Fleet:

F14 C76 Y399 and F14 C76 Y401

LH Fleet:

F14 C76 Y427 and F14 C76 Y429

Soon they will have one more cabin layout when they get the A380 with C + Y only."

In the printed timetable pages 290 *( config 3) & 291 *(Config 4) both configs are three class, both have Y427 and both have Y starting at row 41 with no seats at 80A & 80K.
Config 1 has Y399
Config 2 has Y401
Config 3 has Y427
Config 4 has Y427
Config 5 has Y429

A380 maintenance
 

According to EK source, a couple of A380s are going back into maintenance (e.g. EDA, very soon after its 3C check; it's back and now EDC is in) in Abu Dhabi. Anyone knows what's going on - is this for the doors?

I mean The EK Source website, just to clarify.

That`s correct; they have some kind of troubles with the doors; I can`t explain exactly what the issue is.

Maintenance work is done in AUH and BOD.

So far EDA and EDB habe already fixed it, EDC is currently in AUH and another one, I don`t know the registration is in BOD

It seems that the A340/500 A6-ERE isn`t flying anymore.

So; there`s only 2 A345 remaining in the fleet; A6-ERB and A6-ERJ.

Think you mean ERB in the second sentence.

Thanks!! Just changed now.....my mistake......:D

My mistake.....:td: A6-ERE is still flying for EK; she has been a few weeks in maintenance!

I was wondering if anyone has up to date information on what Emirates aircrafts have what ICE (i.e. ICE Digital Wide Screen or ICE Digital).

I think every A380 and B777-300ER have ICE Digital.

Thanks in advance!

The first post in this thread lists that.

Shouldn't have jumped through to the last few pages! Thank You jackiedada!

A330/200 A6-EAE has left the fleet!

She's parked up next to EAD at the Apple aviation facility at NQY. EAD is already well in the process of having parts stripped before being broken up.

Hi all,

Do EK have any 3-class 77Ws that DO NOT have suites in F ?

Thanks

All 777/300ER 3-class frames have suites in F.

A6-EKW has left the fleet. It is currently parked outside the EK Hangars at DXB in allover white.
