Yes, the tracker linked at the start of this thread indicates EQC is in for PE retrofit since the 26th.

Thanks, hadn’t seen that listed on the tracker!

This accurately reflect the new configuration of 35J seats versus the previous 42J seats.

Row 5 (7 seats) was removed from the first J cabin and Row 6 in the second J cabin was renumbered to row 5.

This was done to significantly increase the pitch in rows 1-4 to enable passengers to pass their seat mate instead of having to step over them (when the seat is in the flat position).

Does the new row 5 (former row 6) behind the 2nd set of doors also get additional space so that window passengers don’t need to climb over their neighbor, or do only rows 1-4 get the additional space?

Does the first/business class cabins on these planes as well as the bar have the updated look (new color scheme with less gold/bling)?

The spreadsheet mentions these aircraft have "include the same 14 First Class suites and 76 business class seats as the existing A380 fleet." whereas the 388L variant specifically mentions "The first class suites are wider and now feature taller doors. The business class seats have been upgraded with a new colur scheme, similar to that seen on the Game Changer 777 cabin."

Was premium economy just added to the planes that I think operate EK 354 but otherwise the look of the premium cabins/bar remain in the older style? Thanks for the help!

Peeps correct me if i recalled wrgly. From my recent experiences coming out of SIN, non of those A6-EEW, A6-EOI, A6-EUM (& A6-EOF) has that new style onboard lounge, only A6-EUX til the last a380 A6-EVS has that. These are all old style lounges with refurbished leathers and new wood trims

Have any more aircraft received the new livery yet? I think Emirates's target of having 24 aircraft getting the new livery by 2023 was slightly overambitious....!;)

A6-EDN looks as though it’s about to re-enter service having completed a test flight yesterday

Will a German destination be included in the Premium Econony retro fit at some point?

Geneva, Vienna and Brussels have only recently joined, but nothing in Germany yet.

Personally, I wouldn't even care whether it's FRA or MUC, I live in between anyway...

A tiny thing I’ve noticed, but a lot of the older A6-EDx A380’s are now carrying the small radome on top of the aircraft, which they never used to have before. I’m sure they always had WiFi fitted though, so does this mean these aircraft have live TV capability now?

Yes, had that on A6-EDQ

Here's what that single row looks like in the back. I didn't sit there so I can't comment if it has more of a "private cabin" or "sitting in the galley" feel.

Does anyone know the expected completion date for the A380 refurbs and the 777 refurbs (to the 1-2-1 business)?

It's already passed for the A380s and just about to for the B777s.

So if there‘s a route currently served with the A380 without refurbishment, that means it will stay like that for good?

No - they are still refurbishing, just that the initial expected completion date has already passed. There have been periods when the refurbishments seem to have been put on hold.

I can't access the Google sheet anymore, it says it's violating google terms of service??

It's available on a new link for now....

Thank you so much!! I cannot believe someone reported the sheet! Thank you for for your time and efforts!
