I know Emirates is investing in their retrofit program. However, for the 777's, I get it's a nose-to-tail conversion.
Does this mean their 77W Economy class seats will be the Game-Changer ones like on some of their EQ* birds (Controller is removed)? The article was not clear about this, and Emirates' Boeing 777's have different kinds of Economy Class seats with different generations of ICE ofc. Some clarity would be appreciated.

murtaza12 - Thanks again for your spreadsheet, but I watched a couple of YouTube videos and I think for the 777-300ER part, it looks like part of your spreadsheet is incorrect.
A6-EGE - According to some videos does NOT have the black border touchscreen controller, it's like any A6-EC* bird and early A6-EG* birds in the series. Even I think A6-EGJ-EGO also have the older seats (the remote is not a touchscreen remote at all). However, EGP-EGZ do have it. I flew on EGP back in November, my dad was on EGR in February.
You might want to look at your spreadsheet once and confirm.

EGE previously had the older screen with gray borders + non-touchscreen gray remote combo, and it is the only EG-series bird that has been retrofitted with a slightly newer Y cabin.
This is my own list and the info from the spreadsheet is based on this, I've tried my best to verify and make sure it's 100% accurate.

Spoiler
Just curious what Y would look like once their nose-to-tail on their 77W conversion is complete...Like the EQ* birds after EQH?

From June 1st EK316/EK317 (DXB-KIX) will change to A388.
I have a flight with EK317 on June 2nd in Economy, and it doesn't show me any upgrades to PE, only Business, so I guess it's not a retrofitted A388.
On my return with EK316 on June 10th it shows a possible upgrade to PE.
Checking in expertflyer (free account) it gives me an error messages when selecting PE for both flights.
EDIT: I made a mistake, the flight EK316 will leave on June 11th, not 10th, and shows PE no in expertflyer.
The following picture is shown to me when I visit Emirates. I hope this means a retrofitted A388 will regularly fly this route.

KIX was announced as a PE destination from 1 June 2024 with the introduction of the A380, so the only question is whether they have sent any A380s without PE since 1 June. Last night was A6-EEL, for example - is that one of the retrofitted birds?

Yeah, I had a look at the spreadsheet afterwards and discovered the same.
Given that a lot of people are booked in PE on my flight to KIX in a couple of days' time, hopefully they will make the route consistently the latest aircraft; I'm in F so it won't make too much difference either way but it would be nice to avoid the oldest type with the ancient tablets.
