Allowing for a slightly wider seat / bed and I would love the Singapore style bed, also the desk I find quite useless and drinks go onto it not ideal when your reclining so another thing I would remove or reduce.

Also better ventilation at the sides on the A380 as when the doors are closed it becomes stuffy and very warm.

However any change should be interesting.

Looking at Expertflyer for a range of dates for EK89 from 05/12, the seatmap is still showing the current F layout.

It could change but I’m sure EK will announce with fanfare when and what route their new F product will be put into action.

There was some speculation that the 100th A380 would feature the new F ... but alas, based on the photos of the bevy of bloggers at the delivery, that was not the case.

Was there? New F so far only confirmed in 777, I've not seen any reports of new F in A380

Looks like its official:
- new 777 F on BRU and GVA routes starting Dec 1.
- 6 suites in 1-1-1 layout
- product reveal at Dubai Airshow

Great to see EK willing to actually innovate and cut seat capacity in favour of improved hard product and stay at the top of the game - if course we don't know exactly what the new hard product is yet, and it may be years before the majority of the fleet has it, but still a promising step in the right direction.

I'm also curious to see what improvements they've made in Y and J. The 777 could easily be visually improved in Y with the faux wood window trimmings found in the A380 for instance.

Likewise!

Just looking for a reason why I would need to fly to either GVA or BRU in the next couple of months... :D
