Curious to know when Emirates will introduce premium economy on Amsterdam flights.
KLM has offered PE (/Premium Comfort) for a long time on this route while on the routes Emirates introduces there isn't much competition, right?
Is it true that Emirates does not offer noise cancellation headphones in PE?

A6-EEA and A6-EEE both returned to action after long lay-offs. No news of any of the 5 remaining DWC resident A380's returning yet but I'm hoping one will do soon. Surely it's not going to be until 2026 at least before the remaining A380 fleet is finally returned to use?
It's also worth noting EED, EEF, EEG, EEH and EEI are all stopped and have been since June/July. Must be undergoing some age related check?

EEJ-EEZ will see the same downtime in the coming 12-18 months.
We will only see another frame ferried from DWC after EDP returns to service.

I dont believe the 200LRs are scheduled for a refurb, they will probably be phased out and retired or converted into freighters.

Accuracy of 3D Seat Map
Hi folks,
I was checking out the seat selections for my flight from Hong Kong to Dubai in the next few days and I would like to know if the 3D view of the seat in the MMB section is accurate or not. Im talking about the furbishing as you know EK got some old business class layouts and some newer one on the A380s. Can I rely on the 3D seat view to determine if my flight is configured with the newer or older business class seats?
Many thanks xx

Ah i see, because prior to online check-in, i was seeing the newer 3rd gen ICE entertainment layout in the 3D seat preview, but when I actually did the online check in to reconfirm my seats, I saw the older 1st gen/2nd gen white colour ICE layout in the 3D seat preview (I'm referring to the J class seats here btw). My heart dropped a beat cuz I really hope it isn't the older generations of entertainment system hahaha.
Many thanks to you "thijsseh"!

I can try to look uo (Flightradar24) what frames are 'usually' employed. For instance, the current EK383 is flown by A6-EPA which is a 4 class refurbished 77W with 3rd generation IFE. From a quick look, it appears that EK381 is operated by a refurbished A380, again with 33rd generation IFE. So if you are on a direct flight you are probably 'in luck'.
And also: Welcome to FlyerTalk and in particular the Emirates subforum. I hope you will get good input / advice here and also that you will feed back to the rest of the community!

What is your flight number? Direct HKG-DXB or the service via BKK?
