It's a B777-300ER.

Talking about configurations; EK have 3 diferent cabin lay-out on the 777/300ER

A. Frames with C42 Y386
B. Frames with F8 C42 Y310
C. Frames with F8 C42 Y304 These have a crew-bunker area and are needed for ultra long flights to SEA, IAD, ADL, BOS, ORD or GRU for example.

The two class A380 needs to be added to this. A6-EOP and A6-EOQ are confirmed to have the new config. It also has a new version of the ICE System, with bigger screens

I am on Emirates flight 99 from Dubai to Rome. When I purchased the tickets, it showed 4 across F and two rows for a total of 8 seats. Now it shows 6 across and 12 seats. Can anybody share anything about the 12 seat configuration?? I presume it is something short of "suites". Thanks for any counsel.

Yes it's the sky cruiser seats EK uses for short hops in the region, India Jordan Sri Lanka, Cairo or some African routes. Huge difference between the suites and sky cruisers. I would not pay for this for over 4 hours, in fact when I'm platinum I would stick to j if that was the first offering as I would get the lounge access anyway.

On ExpertFlyer, the DXB-SFO flights are listed using the equipment code 38P. I'm not seeing it on the first page of this fleet guide. Is that a new configuration?

All A380s from A6-EEU onwards have two extra seats in Y, but this isn't shown on the first post here, although you can see it in the listing in post #2.

There was also a change in MTOW from A6-EEL, but I think it's the seating difference that required the new equipment code.

MSN214 (from MH) arrived today in Toulouse and will become A6-EUC

:confused:
Future A6-EUC is in Hamburg for completion and delivery in July.

MSN114 is a MH frame. Interesting news if that's the case.

If that's the case than EK don't mind buying second hand A380 with RR power plants. SQ will also be retiring A380's soon.

EK must be buying these air frames for next to nothing then.

Not for nothing was this deal announced last year:

:D

Was on A6-EBS today and while it had the old ICE in Business, it didn't have the partition / bulkhead like the other earlier T7's, even had the little serving area where the cabin crew put crisps and fruit etc.

I guess my question is, from which EB* T7 did the bulkhead go and all 6 rows of business be together as opposed to the one row behind it?

2 more A330 have been stored in march; A6-EAH and A6-EKS-

Now only 10 A330 are still in service:

3 A330 in 2-class cabin lay-out: EAK, EAQ and EAS
7 A330 in 3-class cabin lay-out: EAF, EAR, EKT, EKU, EKV, EKX and EKY

I'm not sure, was thinking exactly the same thing when I was on A6-EBS a few weeks ago. I had previously (years ago) been on A6-EBX with the partition. I was wondering if they refitted the older ones to the newer style?
