I flew on A6-EBV in July, and it really needed to go. Looks very worn out, seats were in desperate need of some thorough cleaning, the reclining feature didn't work on some, and was very slow on others. IFEs were malfunctioning, and the screens all had this strange yellow/green shade on them.
Also I noticed that EK seems to be phasing out the 2-class frames only, understandable since they probably have way more cycles than the 3-class ones, but no new 2-class frames have been delivered since A6-EPT, which was in 2016.

Can anyone confirm the frames that the new A380 bar is on? A lot of news reports and posts have EUX as the first frame and thus EUY, EUZ and EVA should have it, but since the frames delivered out of "alphabetical order" I am not entirely sure if there are other frames that have the new bar.
Here's the delivery order starting at EUX according to airfleets:
(MSN- Delivery Date - Reg. No.)
241 27/07/2017 A6-EUX
242 29/08/2017 A6-EUY
244 29/09/2017 A6-EUZ
236 27/10/2017 A6-EUT
239 06/11/2017 A6-EUV
234 30/11/2017 A6-EUS
232 16/03/2018 A6-EUR
167 26/04/2018 A6-EVA
238 01/07/2018 A6-EUU
240 17/09/2018 A6-EUW
I've scoured the 'net for photographic proof (assuming it's tagged correctly) and surmise that UX, UY, UZ, UT, UV have the newest bar.
The rest, just don't have proof.

Not really sure about the route where A6-EMX currently flown now, but before EMX along with EMV is gone by end of month. The most route I can see is DXB-MAA or DXB-BOM they currently flown at. Both will soon operated by 77W.

Will be flying BKK-DXB on October 10th on a 777-200LR. Seat selection in Manage My Booking shows Economy starting from row 14, so I guess this is a reconfigured frame. I know that there is one row in the 777-200LR that has no windows. According to SeatGuru this is row 18 in the three class version of the 772L. Does anyone happen to know what row this is in the new configuration? Having switched to a window seat, I'm certainly not looking forward to having picked the row without window.

I indeed was! The load was very light so I get why they swapped the 77W/A380 for a 77L. Glad I switched seats too as my original seat (21H) was in a row without window. Additionally it seemed that row 15 doesn't feature windows either.

Just because an aircraft gets older doesnt mean it needs to be retired. Any quality airline will refurbish the cabins and ensure its of the same standard as their newest aircraft. The usable life of a modern aircraft is at least 20 years if properly maintained. A tired cabin doesnt mean the aircraft is ready for the wreckers, it just means the airline hasnt done their job properly.

EMX is about to end it's career with Emirates during this weak. But your Youtube channel is that I think I found all your videos and the registration you've captured must be all a 2 class 77W such as A6-END or A6-EPR something like that?

I was on A6-EWB (a similar 77L to EWC) before on the way to INC few months ago, sadly never know what happen but I receive a DM from it's Twitter that this route will be suspended next month. One thing is the 77L new Business Class is now much comfortable but not the greatest as the A380. The other thing is the 77L goes into full flat seat rather than lie flat seat especially the 2-2-2 against 2-3-2 configuration. Flying the 77L is now getting better than the older 77W in Business Class. Another thing is a sad to see the First Class on 77L go away as the new First Class on the new 77W (1-2-1) are replacing these on the 77L, but the new Business Class still nice product anyway.
