what to expect?
I'm on a 2 class plane tomorrow, slightly scared as I'm not used to J class and I'm not sure I'll get PJs or an amenity kit on the super long flight to Cairo - does anyone know?

Will I be on the super new business seats? What are the chances?

Do EK have hand lotion in the J class toilets?

Never mind all that - how will you cope without the DP?

No PJ's for sure , new J class seats I would highly doubt it.

Just make sure you don't come into contact with some Y passengers on the top deck

Don't try to get upstairs to the shower room. That door at the front of the 777 is not, I repeat not a stairwell.

I believe OP is referring to a 777 operated flight and not a A380 flight , might be wrong. I believe he is on a 777 as he asks about if he will get the new J seats which are on the 777.

Indeed. He mentions CAI. That's not an A380 destination (as far as I am aware)

Pomkiwi - what do you mean no DP? I can't drink their non-vintage stuff - its far too young.

Its a 77w - 2 class - I think it may mean I come into contact with Y passengers - troubling times.

I hope you get a couple of masculine, hairy cabin crew members to lather you in the shower on board.

And if there's no showers on the 777 then a 'bed bath' at your seat should suffice.

At least there won't be any distress resulting from the upgrade policy discriminating against Plat members......
